Q: What makes the Norma 9mm Luger 147 Grain FMJ Subsonic ammunition unique?

A: The Norma 9mm Luger 147 Grain FMJ Subsonic ammunition is designed for reduced noise and recoil. Its subsonic velocity (below the speed of sound) makes it ideal for suppressed firearms or situations where minimizing noise is important. The 147 grain weight provides excellent accuracy and consistent performance for target shooting and training.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for self-defense?

A: While the Norma 9mm Luger 147 Grain FMJ Subsonic ammunition is high-quality and reliable, it is primarily designed for range and training purposes. For self-defense, it's generally recommended to use hollow point ammunition for better expansion and stopping power.

Q: Can this ammunition be used in all 9mm Luger firearms?

A: Yes, this ammunition can be used in all firearms chambered for 9mm Luger (also known as 9x19mm Parabellum). However, due to its subsonic nature, it may not cycle reliably in some semi-automatic pistols designed for standard velocity ammunition. It's recommended to test a small quantity in your specific firearm to ensure proper function before purchasing in bulk.

A: Each box of Norma 9mm Luger 147 Grain FMJ Subsonic ammunition contains 50 rounds.

Q: Is this ammunition corrosive?

A: No, this Norma ammunition is not corrosive. It uses modern, non-corrosive primers, which means it won't leave corrosive residues in your firearm after shooting. This makes cleaning easier and helps protect your firearm from potential damage associated with corrosive ammunition.
