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. |

Excellent ballistics and power
I only bought these because of Garand Thumb's review of them, they are well made and pack a punch. Thank you G9 for the fast shipping and excellent product!

9 mm external HP 5 stars
By far the best defensive ammo on the market.

Unknown Quality
I bought these based on internet research. I haven't shot anybody with them yet, so I really can't rate them but G9 sent me an email asking me to anyway. I was going to go with 3 stars for average since I have no further knowledge but I went up to 4 because they look cool as shit.

???? Worth it ????
I have a Cz p10c (15+1) and when I tested these rounds the first thing I noticed was the weight difference between them and what I usually carry (federal HST 124 grain). When I fired them it was a mag that was half loaded with my HSTs and half with the G9s so I could try and tell the recoil difference. There was quite a difference but not as much as I was expecting (your experience may differ), I was probably just over analyzing before my test. Overall I am pleased with my purchase and will be buying them again and have already gotten a co-worker and my brother-in-law interested in them. Thank you for your time.
