G9 Defense 9mm 80gr External Hollow Point (EHP)
Product Overview
Unmatched Performance and Reliability The G9 Defense 9mm 80gr External Hollow Point (EHP) sets a new standard in personal defense ammunition. Utilizing advanced Shape Charge Technology, this round provides superior effectiveness, reliability, and barrier performance compared to other defensive handgun munitions on the market. The EHP is deployed by law enforcement, military professionals, and responsible citizens for its exceptional reliability and stopping power in real-world scenarios.
Key Features:
- Advanced Fluid Transfer Technology: The EHP rounds feature fluted channels that create a high-speed jet of liquid tissue upon impact. This mechanism, known as the Venturi effect, amplifies tissue damage by directing the fluid jet into adjacent tissues, causing extensive tearing and a larger wound channel.
- Consistent Penetration: Optimized to penetrate 18 inches in ballistic gel, ensuring sufficient, controlled penetration with minimal risk of over-penetration that is minimally effected by common barriers.
- Barrier Blind: Maintains high performance even through barriers such as clothing, drywall, and glass. The EHP rounds effectively neutralize threats while minimizing deflection and increasing reliability.
- High Reliability: Achieves over 90% reliability, significantly reducing the risk of failure in critical situations compared to traditional hollow points, which fail to expand approximately one-third of the time in gel tests.
- Reduced Recoil: The lightweight 80gr design ensures lower felt recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy.
- Less Carrying Weight: A loaded EHP weighs in at 24% lighter than a 115gr round, 30% lighter than a 124gr round, and 46% lighter than a 147gr round. This increases comfort for concealed carry and significantly reduces total loadout weight for duty applications.
How It Works
G9’s Shape Charge Technology utilizes the principles of fluid dynamics to enhance wound channels. Upon impact, the bullet's flutes channel liquefied tissue into a high-speed jet. This concentrated force maximizes damage by tearing through surrounding tissue, creating a larger and more reliable wound cavity than traditional expanding bullets.
| COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES | WHAT MAKES THE G9 9MM EHP BETTER? |
|---|---|
| Jacketed Hollow Points (JHP) | Hollow points fail to expand approximately 33% of the time, this rate increases sharply after encountering barriers. EHP rounds eliminate expansion failures, providing consistent performance and larger wound channels than JHPs. |
| Full Metal Jackets (FMJ) | The EHP offers controlled penetration with significantly more tissue damage than Full Metal Jacket rounds. FMJs do have less than a 10% failure rate and perform better than JHPs or Frangibles through barriers, but usually over-penetrate and create smaller wound channels. |
| Frangible Rounds | G9 ensures effective penetration and extensive wound cavities, surpassing shallow frangible wounds seen with Frangible rounds. Frangible rounds have about a 15% failure rate, mainly due to their design to fragment upon impact, resulting in shallow wounds and complete inability to perform through common barriers. |
| Tumbling Rounds | Tumbling rounds fail to achieve the intended tumbling effect over 50% of the time, leading to inconsistent performance. The EHP delivers predictable and consistent performance without relying on unpredictable tumbling effects to produce wounding. |

Runs solid
Rounds shoot smooth with no cycling issues. Run it out of my P365XL with zero issue. Will buy for carry ammo moving forward.

Quality ammunition
So out of my Beretta 92 GTS this ammunition hits the same spot as the heavier 124 grain I usually use. Very accurate and devastating ammo. It's worth the extra money verses a hollow point.
-
Defense ammo
Shipping was quick and they gave me a sticker and a coupon code .Ammo fed in my Taurus 709 slim without any issues this will be my main defense ammo for now on

G9 +P 9mm EHP
Worth every cent when your life depends on it!!
-
Hopefully they can send me more lol
I like em they needa send me some for free ?
-
Great round Hot gun
In the range though drill the rounds did fantastic in accuracy and never had a malfunction in the limited amount of rounds I shot, however my pistol got much hotter than normal after only firing 20 of these rounds. When I would shoot normal fmj round the gun would not get nearly as hot. This particular gun has had less than 1k rounds fired and was cleaned prior to going through drills.

Quality
Haven't used them thankfully but know I have piece of mind just in case. Keep in the good work.

Great shooting
Round cycle and shoot good will be my new carry ammo
