The 96-grain VX9 ammo was engineered for US Special Forces and Law Enforcement, to produce a very specific performance profile.  The resulting design is a solid copper, hollow point projectile, compatible for 9mm handguns in military, law enforcement and self-defense use, as well as carbines in hunting applications.  The VX9 nose coning geometry and side slots, allow this unique projectile to roll into itself, if needed to penetrate hard barriers, such as metal doors or windshields. It can also expand (flower) in the intended, subsequent soft target, with no deviation, separation, fragmentation or exit beyond 18”.  Extensive testing (View Testing Data) proves out an expanding, triple helical cavitation wound with 14-16” ballistic gel penetration, whether penetrating metal or glass initially, or the intended soft target initially, without exiting.  This superior projectile has outperformed all the major brands in head/head tests.  It is truly a self-defense round without a peer.
