Deep hollow point cavity and engineered petals promote rapid, yet controlled, expansion across a broad velocity range common to defensive 9mm loads.
Design and construction allow the bullet to track straight and maintain structural integrity after passing through intermediate barriers such as car doors, plywood, and auto glass.
Solid copper body and consistent geometry support reliable penetration to vital organs while helping manage the risk of unpredictable fragmentation.
Flat base and uniform shank provide strong case grip and repeatable seating depth in quality 9mm brass.
M/LE designation indicates the bullet was developed to meet rigorous military and law enforcement expectations for reliability and barrier performance.
