40 SW – 165 gr FMJ FN – Magtech (40G) – 1000 Rounds

Owners of 40 S&W pistols, including many former police trade-in guns, need an affordable round for regular practice. This listing is Magtech 40 S&W 165 grain full metal jacket flat nose ammo, MPN 40G, sold as a 1,000 round case. It is a good value for steady training, qualification courses, and local action pistol matches.

Magtech rates this load at 1,050 fps with 404 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 165 grain bullet is the middle weight for the 40, giving a recoil impulse that is a bit snappier than 180 grain loads but quicker than 155 grain options. The flat nose profile is the shape most 40 S&W pistols are designed to feed, and it cuts clean holes in paper targets. As a full metal jacket load, it is meant for practice and training, not for self defense or hunting.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 40 S&W, including the Glock 22, 23, 27, and 35, Smith and Wesson M&P40 and Shield, SIG P226, P229, and P320, Springfield XD and XD-M, Beretta PX4 Storm, and HK USP, as well as carbines such as the Beretta CX4. A common question is whether a 40 S&W pistol can fire 10mm Auto. No. The 10mm case is longer and loaded to higher pressure, though some 10mm pistols can fire 40 S&W with a dedicated barrel. Another common question is whether 40 S&W fits a 357 SIG pistol. Only with a 40 S&W barrel swap, because the 357 SIG uses a bottlenecked case.

Magtech 40G is new production ammunition, not reloads. Magtech is part of the CBC group. Each round has a reloadable brass case, a boxer primer, and non-corrosive components. The case contains 20 boxes of 50 rounds for 1,000 total from one lot, a supply that keeps a practice schedule on track without frequent reorders.
