9mm – 124 gr JHP – Federal HST (P9HST1) – 250 Rounds

For most concealed carriers, 250 rounds of a proven hollow point is the right amount: enough to test a pistol thoroughly, practice with real carry ammo, and load magazines with fresh rounds. This listing is Federal Premium Personal Defense HST 9mm Luger 124 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN P9HST1, sold as 250 rounds.

Federal rates this standard pressure load at 1,150 fps with 364 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The HST bullet is engineered to expand consistently and retain its weight after passing through heavy clothing, and it is among the most trusted law enforcement 9mm bullets. Because this is the standard pressure version, recoil is a bit milder than the +P P9HST3, which helps in compact and subcompact carry pistols. Nickel-plated brass resists corrosion from sweat and humidity, an advantage for ammunition carried daily.

This ammunition fits 9mm Luger pistols such as the SIG P365 and P365X Macro, Glock 43X, 48, and 19, Springfield Hellcat Pro, Smith and Wesson Shield Plus and M&P9 Compact, Ruger Max-9, Walther PDP F-Series, and Taurus GX4. A common question is whether you should practice with your carry ammo. Most of your practice can be with FMJ, but every carrier should fire enough of their actual carry load to confirm reliable feeding and know where it hits. Another common question is the difference between P9HST1 and P9HST3. P9HST1 is standard pressure at 1,150 fps; P9HST3 is +P at 1,200 fps with the same 124 grain bullet.

Federal P9HST1 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. It is non-corrosive and uses boxer-primed, nickel-plated brass. This listing ships as 5 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 9mm 124 grain HST. The same load is also available from us in a 1,000 round case for heavier users.
