The Hydra-Shok Deep is designed to maintain its performance through common barriers like clothing, drywall, and auto glass. It's engineered to expand consistently even after passing through such obstacles.
While you can use it for practice, it's primarily designed (and priced) for self-defense use. For regular target practice, it's more economical to use standard FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) rounds.
No, this ammunition uses non-corrosive primers. You don't need to worry about accelerated gun wear or special cleaning procedures after using it.
This ammunition should function reliably in most modern 9mm handguns. However, it's always recommended to test any self-defense ammunition in your specific firearm to ensure proper feeding and function.
The 9mm Hydra-Shok Deep is designed to rival the performance of larger calibers through its optimized expansion and penetration. It offers comparable terminal performance while allowing for higher capacity and lower recoil typical of 9mm.
Extreme temperatures can affect ammunition performance. While designed to function reliably in a wide temperature range, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold should be avoided.
Both the Hydra-Shok Deep and HST are premium self-defense lines from Federal. The Hydra-Shok Deep focuses on achieving optimal FBI-spec penetration, while the HST is known for its exceptional expansion.
