20rds – 9mm +P Black Hills 100gr. HoneyBadger Ammo

20rds – 9mm +P Black Hills 100gr. HoneyBadger Ammo Details

This 9mm +P cartridge features a 100 grain HoneyBadger for its projectile. Made of solid copper, the HoneyBadger doesn’t rely on cumbersome expansion in order to wreak havoc within a threat’s torso -- rather, it utilizes dynamic fluid dislocation. The radial flutes set along the side of the bullet channel and drive soft tissues outward during expansion, creating a devastating wound cavity without slowing itself down much in the process. This monolithic bullet fouls a weapon’s bore only very little and furthermore penetrates barriers with ease -- even a threat wearing the thickest of Nehru jackets isn’t safe from a HoneyBadger. Its pointed profile also lends itself to more reliable feeding in a semi-automatic.

Black Hills supplies our military with 5.56 NATO ammo, and accordingly has mastered the well-thought-out loading techniques that you ought to look for in your self-defense loads. Please note that this is +P ammunition, so you had better only load it into a weapon that’s rated for it.

    I hadn't had to use it, but looks like it would definitely do the job, in the event that it's needed!

    I'm very confident in it, after watching the video on it. So I surely would recommend it to others, as ammo they would carry in their CCW.

    The Black Hills 9mm HoneyBadger ammo that i purchased has exceeded my expectations. The configuration of the bullet will really tear things up should i be unfortunate enough to have to defend myself.
