9mm +P – 115 gr JHP – Black Hills (D9N820) – 500 Rounds

Light, fast 9mm hollow points have a long track record for personal protection, and Black Hills loads this one to +P pressure. This listing is Black Hills 9mm +P 115 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN D9N820, sold as 500 rounds in 20 round boxes. That is enough to test, train with, and carry the same defensive load. Keep a written log of rounds fired so you know when your carry gun has proven itself with this lot.

Black Hills rates D9N820 at 1,250 fps. The +P rating means the load runs above standard 9mm pressure for added velocity, which helps a 115 grain hollow point expand. Lighter bullets usually produce a crisp recoil impulse that many shooters find easy to manage in follow-up shots. As a jacketed hollow point, this is a self defense load. For routine target practice, an FMJ is the more economical choice.

It fits pistols chambered in 9mm Luger, also called 9x19mm, that are rated for +P ammunition, including the Glock 17, 19, 26, and 45, SIG P320 and P365, Smith and Wesson M&P9 M2.0, Springfield Hellcat and Echelon, HK VP9, CZ P-10, and Beretta APX. A common question is whether +P ammo is safe in my pistol. Most modern 9mm pistols are rated for +P, but check your owner manual, and avoid frequent +P use in older or lightweight guns. Another common question is how many rounds to test before carrying. Many instructors suggest at least 200 trouble-free rounds of your carry load.

Black Hills D9N820 is new production ammunition, not remanufactured, made in the USA in Rapid City, South Dakota. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 25 boxes of 20 rounds for 500 total, all one lot, so the rounds you test are the same ones you carry. Small boxes also make it easy to rotate carry ammunition on a schedule.
