The Sellier & Bellot XRG Defense is built on a simple principle: solid copper hollow points expand reliably while holding together through common barriers. That's where the "Barrier Blind" design comes in. Whether your round passes through glass, drywall, fabric, or metal, the all-copper construction maintains nearly complete weight retention so you get consistent penetration and expansion regardless of what's in the way.
Most defensive loads use heavier bullets in .40 S&W, but this XRG runs a light-for-caliber 130 grains. That lighter weight does something practical: lower perceived recoil and higher velocity, which means cleaner follow-up shots. At 1247 fps, you're getting speed that matters, and the hollow point design expands into five sharp cutting petals on impact. There's no jacket separation to worry about since the whole bullet is solid copper.
Sellier & Bellot has been making ammunition since 1825, and the XRG Defense line has been proven in real-world use by European law enforcement units. The ammunition is loaded in new brass with non-corrosive Boxer primers, and it's reloadable if that matters to you. Each round comes clean and consistent, minimizing fouling so your pistol stays reliable through regular use. It's the kind of ammunition designed for carry without compromise.
Barrier Blind performance means the solid copper hollow point maintains near 100% weight retention even after passing through common barriers like glass, drywall, metal, or fabric. This consistency ensures reliable expansion and penetration regardless of what obstacles are in the round's path, making it dependable for real-world defensive scenarios.
The lighter bullet weight reduces perceived recoil and produces higher velocity, which translates to better control of follow-up shots and cleaner performance from compact pistols. Combined with the solid copper construction, the 130-grain XRG delivers effective terminal performance without the extra recoil of heavier loads.
Yes. The XRG comes loaded in new, reloadable brass with non-corrosive Boxer primers. The ammunition is new production and designed to clean-fire without leaving excessive fouling in your pistol, making it reliable for regular practice and carry use.
Solid copper bullets like the XRG are monolithic, meaning there's no jacket to separate from the core. This eliminates jacket separation concerns and ensures near 100% weight retention through barriers. Jacketed hollow points use a copper jacket around a lead core and can potentially lose fragments or mass depending on what they strike.
