SinterFire Handgun Ammo, Find Deals on Frangible Self-Defense Ammo! — 29 products / 29 models — Page 1
SinterFire bullets are frangible, making them a top contender for the best self-defense Ammo. In addition to SinterFire 9mm Luger self-defense ammo, they offer other popular handgun calibers like .40 S&W. Used by law enforcement, military personnel, target shooters, and as an excellent home- and personal-defense round, it really is a great all-around round.
What Is Frangible Ammo?
SinterFire lead-free frangible ammo breaks up upon contact with anything harder than the bullet. The main cartridge components of conventional ammo of primer, case, and powder are all the same. It's just the projectile that's different, and it functions exactly the same as other traditional Handgun Ammo, feeding and cycling through semiautomatics just like regular ball ammo or JHP's (Jacketed Hollow Point) do.
What are frangible bullets good for?
The reason that frangible bullets are so unique and utilitarian is the behavior of the projectile upon impact. Rather than breaking up into large pieces or ricocheting, they simply disintegrate into small particles. This makes them ideal for self-defense when overpenetration can be a concern. Unlike a traditional round, if the target is missed or passed through, a frangible bullet will disintegrate on walls or other hard surfaces instead of risking hitting innocent bystanders.
This also makes frangible ammunition excellent for steel target shooting. Wear and tear on steel or other metal targets is greatly reduced, extending the lifespan of an expensive steel target for thousands of more rounds than a traditional target round. Even soft round nose ammo will dent a steel target at least a little, but there's far less noticeable damage when using a frangible round.
