FXP: Our Hollow Point Ammo Line

FXP is the Fenix expanding projectile line: a hollow point design intended to expand rather than pass through like a jacketed trainer. That is the projectile behavior defensive shooters look for, and it is why these loads cost more per round than FMJ. The 100 count pack reflects the mission: enough to test thoroughly and keep a real reserve. Every FXP load publishes its specifications on its product page, so you can read exactly what your caliber's version is built to do before buying.

Match Your Carry Caliber

Every mainstream defensive caliber in the catalog gets its FXP: 90 grain for .380 pistols, 124 or 147 grain for 9mm, 180 grain for both .40 S&W and 10mm, and the classic 230 grain for .45 ACP. Weights are chosen to feel familiar next to their FMJ training counterparts, so your practice and your serious loads speak the same language. If you carry two different pistols seasonally, stock the FXP for both and test each; guns are individuals about ammunition and deserve individual proof.

Test It Like You Mean It

No defensive load should go into service on faith. Run at least a couple magazines through the exact pistol that will carry it: confirm feeding, confirm point of impact, and note how it recoils against your practice ammo. A 100 count pack exists precisely so you can prove the load and still have plenty left for the nightstand. Repeat a short verification any time your pistol gets new springs, new sights, or a hundred rounds of neglect; proof has a shelf life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FXP stand for on Fenix hollow points?

It is our expanding projectile line, the Fenix hollow point family. If the title says FXP Hollowpoint, the projectile is designed to expand.

Which hollow point weight should I pick for 9mm?

Both 124 and 147 grain are proven defensive weights. Pick the one that matches your practice ammo and shoots to your sights; consistency beats debate.

Why does hollow point ammo cost more than FMJ?

The projectile is more complex to make. That is why the smart split is training in volume on FMJ and reserving FXP rounds for testing and carry.

How many rounds should I test before carrying a load?

Common guidance runs 100 to 200 trouble free rounds through your carry gun. One to two packs covers that and leaves a stocked reserve.
