Product Description
Federal Punch 9mm 124gr JHP Personal Defense Ammunition 20-Round Box
Federal Punch is engineered from the ground up for personal defense — not a repurposed hunting bullet, not a range projectile with a hollow point drilled in. The 124-grain loading launches at 1,150 fps and produces consistent expansion to around .50 caliber while achieving 15 inches of penetration in bare gelatin, threading the needle between reliable terminal performance and manageable overpenetration risk. What sets Punch apart from premium loads at twice the price is its aggressive nickel-plated case paired with a specially formulated propellant that delivers consistent ignition across a 70-degree temperature spread — critical for a carry round you might deploy in a winter coat pocket or a Phoenix July. The flat-nose hollow point profile feeds reliably in a broader range of 9mm pistols, including older platforms with tight chamber throats that can balk at rounded HP designs. Federal optimized this load specifically for short-barrel pistols (3"–4"), and velocity retention out of a Shield or Glock 43 is noticeably better than with comparable +P loads. For the price point, Punch punches well above its weight class.

Protection now delivers a knockout blow. Punch(TM) draws from Federal(R) Ammunition's decades of experience designing the world's finest defensive handgun loads. The bullet's skived jacket and soft lead core produce the best expansion and penetration for the price, while its nickel-plated brass and sealed primer deliver the reliable feeding and ignition you need to protect yourself.
