What does “HST” stand for? Nothing, technically – its just the three letters Federal chose to represent their fine line of self-defense ammunition!

This 9mm +P cartridge is loaded with a super effective 124 grain jacketed hollow point. A deep cannelure crimps its core and jacket tightly together, so they remain mechanically bonded even as the HST bullet penetrates tough barriers like heavy clothing and plywood. Once its nose cavity connects with soft tissue, however, the HST begins to flatten out massively. This is why it performs so well on the FBI’s test protocol, inflicting accented damage to a threat while simultaneously significantly reducing its chance of passing right through it.

A self-defense load’s terminal performance can’t be the only reliable thing about it. That’s why Federal gives their HST the optimal profile with which to feed into a semi-auto’s chamber, as well as a nose cavity which resists blocking up with debris that could have hampered expansion. This round’s low friction nickel plated brass case promotes rapid feeding and extraction without jamming, and it resists gradual corrosion as well!

This is an overpressure round, hence the “+P.” All that means is it’s loaded to create a higher chamber pressure, thus increasing its muzzle velocity to 1,200 fps out of a 4” barrel. Most modern handguns including those made by Glock, Taurus, and SIG Sauer can handle overpressure ammo just fine, but it will wear out a semi-auto’s moving parts a little faster. That’s not an issue for self-defense, but not ideal for training either!

Q: Is this SAAMI/NATO specifications

Posted On: 3/16/2022 By: Mitchell Green

A: Thanks for reaching out Mitchell! 9mm NATO is actually its own separate thing – it's loaded to a slightly higher chamber pressure than what SAAMI specs call for. But Federal Premium is a voting and associate member of SAAMI, and this ammo is 100% SAAMI spec!

Q: What’s the difference between the 124 grain plus p law enforcement and the 124 grain plus p self defense besides the price?

Posted On: 11/22/2021 By: John G

A: Thanks for reaching out John! The quantity and packaging are the only differences. You definitely get a better deal on the 50-pack.

Q: Is there a difference between the other federal 124gr +p in 50 round count then this in 20 round count?

Posted On: 6/9/2021 By: Reynaldo Sanchez

A: Hello again Reynaldo! In all honesty, the only difference is the packaging. It only depends on whether you want 50 or 20 rounds!
