Blazer Brass 40 S&W 180 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Personal Protection Ammunition (MPN: 5241)
Product Description
Many defensive marksmen and security professionals face a persistent hurdle when selecting carry ammunition: the high cost of premium boutique personal defense rounds prevents regular range practice, leaving them to train with standard hardball ammo that has a completely different recoil impulse and point of impact. Blazer Brass solves this operational bottleneck with their 40 S&W 180-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP). By engineered a capable defensive round at a practical price point, Blazer Brass allows responsible gun owners to load, train, and validate their handgun platforms under realistic duty conditions without exhausting their budget.
Proudly manufactured in Lewiston, Idaho, under the umbrella of CCI, this high-performance cartridge is loaded with a heavy-for-caliber 180-grain Jacketed Hollow Point bullet. The projectile architecture utilizes a precision-drawn copper jacket wrapped around a uniform lead core, complete with an optimized nose cavity designed to control downrange expansion and deliver massive energy transfer upon target contact. To guarantee smooth mechanical transit up steep semi-automatic feed ramps, every round features a slick profile seated into standard-pressure virgin brass cases. Packed with ultra-clean propellants and non-corrosive, highly sensitive CCI Boxer primers, these components provide seamless extraction metrics and serve as excellent raw materials for the custom handloading bench.
On the firing line, this .40 Smith & Wesson load performs with the hard-hitting, authoritative slide velocity that established the cartridge as an industry duty-grade staple. Leaving the muzzle at a uniform velocity of 985 FPS with 388 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, it yields an incredibly flat, predictable trajectory that perfectly matches standard factory sight alignments. The subsonic velocity profile significantly limits intense concussive blast in indoor shoot-houses or close-quarter defensive scenarios, while the heavy 180-grain bullet mass retains physical momentum to defeat tough intermediate barriers cleanly. Packaged in a compact 50-round box, it provides a rugged, go-to solution for real-world home security caching, tactical drills, and continuous proficiency validation.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance: Handgun ammunition procurement regulations strictly apply. All purchasers must be 21 years of age or older and assume full legal responsibility for adhering to local, state, and federal laws. Due to commercial carrier transit safety protocols, ammunition cannot be delivered to Alaska, Hawaii, or US territories. Deliveries destined for California and New York must ship straight to a licensed FFL dealer or registered ammunition vendor. Residents of Illinois must supply a valid FOID card alongside a matching state ID prior to order processing, and local regional delivery bans restrict shipping to specific jurisdictions inside Illinois (including Chicago), Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. Armorer Tip: Because this heavy 180-grain JHP cartridge generates realistic duty-spec pressures and slide acceleration, make sure your pistol's extractor hook is clear of carbon accumulation to prevent premature casing slippage during fast-paced defensive strings.
