Description
An object must travel at 1,125 fps in order to break the sound barrier, and the typical 9mm bullet travels at around 1,250. That makes it a less than discrete cartridge to train with, unless, that is to say, you invest in this fine subsonic ammunition by Sellier & Bellot. With its 1,000 fps muzzle velocity you can count on it not to make a supersonic crack when fired, which makes it perfect for training around sensitive relatives and neighbors, instructing skittish novice shooters, and especially implementing it in conjunction with a silencer.
rThis cartridge’s 150 grain projectile is so heavy in part to help it achieve its lesser velocity. The bullet’s full metal jacket facilitates penetration through unconventional plinking targets, and also protects your pistol’s bore against lead fouling. Thanks to its non-corrosive Boxer primer and factory fresh brass casing, you may try your hand at making your own subsonic ammo once you’ve fired it.
