The CorBon DPX 9MM+P 115 Grain is a premium self-defense round engineered around a 100% solid copper Barnes X-bullet, delivering barrier-blind penetration, controlled expansion, and maximum weight retention that traditional jacketed hollow points simply cannot match.
- 100% solid copper Barnes X-bullet retains full weight after barrier penetration
- Barrier-blind performance through auto glass, steel, and heavy clothing
- Internal serration cuts drive reliable double-diameter expansion every time
- Six razor-sharp petals deploy on impact for devastating terminal performance
- +P rated at 1,250 fps for enhanced velocity out of standard 9MM pistols
- Lead-free copper construction reduces barrel fouling and toxic exposure
Who This Is For

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CorBon DPX 9MM+P safe to fire in any 9MM pistol?
The DPX is loaded to +P pressure specifications, which exceeds standard 9MM Luger (SAAMI) pressure levels. Most modern 9MM pistols from reputable manufacturers — including Glock, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson, and Springfield Armory — are rated for +P ammunition. However, you should always consult your firearm's owner's manual before using +P loads, as older or budget pistols may not be rated for the higher pressure. Sustained use of +P ammo in non-rated pistols can accelerate wear.
How does the solid copper Barnes X-bullet compare to a traditional jacketed hollow point?
Unlike traditional jacketed hollow points (JHP), which use a lead core wrapped in a copper jacket, the Barnes X-bullet is machined from a single piece of solid copper. This construction eliminates core-jacket separation and ensures 100% weight retention even after punching through barriers like auto glass or drywall. The internal serration cuts — rather than external notches — allow the nose to peel back into six uniform, razor-sharp petals, consistently achieving double the original bullet diameter. The result is deeper, more reliable penetration combined with a larger wound channel than most conventional JHP designs.
How should I store CorBon DPX ammunition and how long does it last?
Store your CorBon DPX ammunition in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. A dedicated ammo can or storage box in a climate-controlled space is ideal. When stored properly, modern centerfire pistol ammunition — including the DPX line — maintains reliable performance for 10 years or more. Avoid storing ammunition loose in areas subject to temperature swings, such as a vehicle glove box or an unconditioned garage, as moisture and heat can degrade primers and propellants over time.
