Federal 9mm Luger American Eagle 124gr FMJ Ammo

While this ammunition can be used with a suppressor, the bullet’s supersonic muzzle velocity means it will produce a sonic crack when breaking the sound barrier, reducing the overall noise reduction effect of the suppressor. For quieter suppressed shooting, subsonic ammunition, which travels at speeds below the sound barrier, would be more appropriate.

Yes, Federal 9mm Luger American Eagle 124-grain FMJ Ammo is well-suited for law enforcement training. Its reliable performance, consistent ignition, and accurate trajectory make it a trusted choice for officers honing their shooting skills. The 124-grain bullet also mimics the weight of many law enforcement duty rounds, providing realistic practice conditions.

This ammunition is designed for consistent accuracy at standard handgun distances, including 25 yards. In most cases, shooters can expect groupings of 2-3 inches, depending on their skill level and the firearm used. The combination of clean-burning powders and high-quality components contributes to this reliable accuracy, making it a popular choice for both practice and competition.

FMJ rounds are known for their deep penetration, which can be a concern for over-penetration, especially in self-defense scenarios. This ammo will penetrate further than hollow points because it doesn’t expand upon impact. In controlled environments like a range, this deep penetration is beneficial for target practice, but for self-defense, hollow points are typically preferred to minimize the risk of over-penetration.

After using Federal 9mm Luger American Eagle 124-grain FMJ ammo, a basic cleaning of your firearm is recommended. Thanks to the clean-burning powder, residue buildup will be minimal, but you should still clean the barrel, action, and any other parts where powder residue may accumulate. Regular maintenance helps ensure your firearm stays in good working condition, reducing the risk of malfunctions and extending its lifespan.
