Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Armscor .40 S&W ammo suitable for everyday concealed carry and self-defense?
Yes. The 180-grain jacketed hollow point design is widely regarded as an effective self-defense load in .40 S&W. The JHP bullet expands upon impact to transfer energy efficiently while reducing the risk of over-penetration — key factors for responsible defensive use. Armscor's ISO 9001-certified manufacturing ensures consistent primer ignition and reliable feeding across most semi-automatic pistols chambered in .40 S&W.
What pistols is this .40 S&W ammunition compatible with?
This ammunition is compatible with any firearm chambered in .40 S&W that meets SAAMI specifications. Common examples include the Glock 22, 23, and 27; Smith & Wesson M&P40; Sig Sauer P226/P229 in .40 S&W; Springfield XD40; and many other full-size and compact semi-automatic pistols. Always verify your firearm's specifications and consult your owner's manual before use.
How does the 180-grain bullet weight compare to other .40 S&W loads?
In .40 S&W, bullet weights typically range from 135 to 180 grains. The 180-grain load sits at the heavier end of the spectrum, producing a lower muzzle velocity but greater sectional density and deeper penetration compared to lighter options like 155- or 165-grain loads. For defensive use, the 180-grain JHP offers a well-established balance of expansion and penetration preferred by many law enforcement agencies and civilian carriers.
