Federal Premium Personal Defense Hydra-Shok Deep – .45 Colt – 210 Grain – P45CHSD1
The Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep in .45 Colt (P45CHSD1) is a 2026-market staple for shooters who demand modern terminal ballistics from a classic caliber. While the original Hydra-Shok has been a defensive standard since 1989, the Deep variant is specifically re-engineered to meet contemporary FBI penetration protocols. It features a significantly more robust center post and a specialized core design that ensures the projectile reaches an optimal depth of 15 inches or more in ballistic gel, even after passing through heavy clothing or common barriers. This 210-grain load is cartridge-optimized to balance aggressive expansion with the penetration required for effective self-defense.
Federal has tuned this load to perform reliably across all barrel lengths, making it equally effective in the 2-inch barrel of a Taurus Judge or the 6-inch barrel of a Smith & Wesson Model 25. Utilizing premium nickel-plated brass cases for enhanced corrosion resistance and smoother extraction, the P45CHSD1 also features specially formulated, low-flash propellants to preserve the shooter's night vision during a defensive encounter. With a muzzle velocity of 913 fps, it provides a manageable recoil impulse while delivering the "stopping power" .45 Colt enthusiasts expect. For the 2026 owner who relies on a "Big Bore" revolver for home or personal protection, Hydra-Shok Deep is the definitive choice for modern reliability.
Includes: (1) Box of 20 Rounds Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep .45 Colt 210gr JHP.
