G9 Defense 9 mm +P Woodsman

Employing a turned, solid-copper bullet weighing 124 grains, the G9 Defense 9 mm +P Woodsman load is promoted by the maker for hunting use and as “Ideal Wilderness Protection”—no mean feat considering it can be fired from compact, carry-size handguns.

With a claimed muzzle velocity of 1,125 f.p.s. the Woodsman’s bullet leverages the company’s patented “Shape Charge” technology, tapering to a 0.290"-diameter meplat that parabolically transitions to a distinct point, all of which is designed to facilitate deep, straight-line travel within its target. In fact, both company and independent testing of the U.S.-made ammunition has demonstrated up to 38" of penetration in ballistic gelatin.

MSRP is $37 (20-count box). For more information, visit g9defense.com.
