Key Design Features

• Skived Tip: Pre-programmed internal and external notches ensure the hollow point splits cleanly into sharp petals rather than clogging or failing to expand through heavy clothing.

• Nickel Plating: Reduces friction for smoother feeding in semi-automatic pistols and protects the brass casings against corrosion.

• Waterproofing: Sealant applied around the primer and case mouth prevents moisture degradation during long-term daily carry.
