The Federal HST jacketed hollow point is one of the most effective bullets for law enforcement on earth. Its robust copper jacket and hard lead core grant it virtually “barrier blind” performance, which is of obvious benefit when the threat is shielded auto parts, etc.
The Federal Punch JHP isn’t on the same level. Its softer core just doesn’t let it exhibit the same degree of weight retention while piercing safety glass, etc.
But here’s the thing. Most civilians will never engage threats that are taking cover behind car doors, which means they won’t need the full potential of the HST. And that’s what makes this 9mm defense round’s 124 grain JHP so appealing: *it’s more affordable*, albeit still ready and able to clear barriers like heavy clothing, plywood, and gypsum board.
If you fired Punch and HST side by side, you’d be hard pressed (if not downright unable) to tell the difference. The former may lack nickel-plated cases, but it is otherwise loaded to extremely high standards for quality, and features sealed primers for added assurance that nothing can compromise your ability to defend yourself and your own.
