Description
This is Grizzly's answer to folks who want more out of their 9mm. With a 147-grain full metal jacket flat point bullet loaded hot to +P specifications, you're getting significantly more power than standard 9mm loads. Each round exits at 1125 fps with 413 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, which puts it in the ballpark of some medium-power handgun rounds.
The flat point design is the key here. Unlike round nose bullets that slip through soft tissue, the broad flat profile tears a wider wound channel and promotes deeper penetration through dense material. The full metal jacket construction means there's no expansion involved, which is by design. This bullet wants to go straight through whatever it hits and keep moving, making it ideal for hunting situations where you need reliable performance on animals with thick hide and bone.
Grizzly's +P Load Philosophy
Grizzly loads this ammunition hotter than standard 9mm to deliver the kind of performance that makes the caliber respect itself. It's not soft shooting by any means, but if your pistol is rated for +P ammunition, this round will run reliably. The company manufactures these cartridges right here in Oregon with the kind of quality control that comes from founder Mike Rintoul personally overseeing production. Each box contains 20 rounds of new production brass that's reloadable if you're into that.
Better Suited for Specific Work
This isn't a round for everyday target practice at the range, and it's definitely not the type of ammunition you'd typically rely on for conventional defensive carry. The penetration profile and lack of expansion make it less than ideal for situations involving human-size threats. Where this load shines is in backcountry defense against predators and hunting medium-sized game where deep, reliable penetration and a robust wound channel matter more than controlled expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 9mm +P and standard 9mm?
Plus P ammunition is loaded to higher pressure levels than standard 9mm, which produces increased velocity and energy. This requires your firearm to be rated for +P use. Standard 9mm sits at lower pressure for broader firearm compatibility.
Why would I choose a 147-grain bullet over lighter options?
The 147-grain projectile delivers more momentum and deeper penetration than lighter bullets, making it better suited for hunting applications and situations where penetration through heavy material matters. It also produces a softer recoil impulse compared to lighter loads.
Is this Grizzly ammo suitable for home defense?
This ammunition is designed primarily for hunting predators and medium game where deep penetration is desired. The full metal jacket flat point bullet does not expand and will pass through barriers, making it less ideal than purpose-built defensive rounds for typical home defense scenarios.
Where is Grizzly Ammo manufactured?
Grizzly Cartridge Company manufactures all their ammunition in Rainier, Oregon. The company is known for personal quality control oversight by founder Mike Rintoul throughout the entire production process.
