40 S&W 165gr Self-Defense JHP

Description

COR®BON’s .40 S&W 165gr JHP is a proven self-defense load engineered for reliable expansion, massive energy transfer, and real-world stopping power. Since 1982, this round has helped define high-velocity defensive ammunition, earning the name “HOT STUFF” for a reason.

During early testing, COR®BON identified a major flaw in most hollow points on the market: they failed to expand after passing through clothing. Many performed no better than ball ammo, offering minimal threat-stopping capability. COR®BON solved that by increasing velocity and designing a hollow point that expands violently and consistently, even after hitting layered fabric.

This 40 S&W 165gr JHP at 1150 feet per second, delivering 485 foot-pounds of muzzle energy from a 4-inch barrel. Independent studies have shown this round achieves over 90% one-shot stopping power, making it a go-to choice for law enforcement, personal defense, and everyday carry.

The bullet uses a gilding metal jacket and a soft lead core, with internal and external scoring for reliable expansion. When it strikes soft tissue, it mushrooms to nearly double its diameter, peeling back to the base and transferring energy immediately into the target. This expansion also helps reduce over-penetration, improving safety without sacrificing performance.

Experts recommend firing at least 200 rounds of your carry load to verify reliability in your firearm. COR®BON’s JHP line gives you that reliability and then some.
