This load is specifically developed for effective performance in a range of personal defense firearms, including common concealed carry revolvers and pistols chambered in .357 Mag, addressing common challenges encountered in real-world scenarios.

Key Features and Engineering:

• Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) Bullet: The patented FTX projectile design features a soft polymer tip that initiates consistent expansion, even when encountering common barriers like heavy clothing. This design also prevents the hollow point from clogging, ensuring reliable terminal performance.

• Nickel-Plated Cases: Each round features a durable nickel-plated case. This plating resists corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability and smooth feeding. The bright finish also aids in quick chamber checks, particularly in adverse lighting conditions or during range practice.
