See what the top military and law enforcement pros are shooting.

Velocitas may be a young company, but it came correct to the party. It's no secret, precision matters and few companies have put the level of attention to detail as the Texas based company. 

Their 96-grain VX9 was engineered for US Special Forces and Law Enforcement agencies to solve specific problems. Among those, the need to penetrate hard barriers, like metal doors or windshields. It can also expand (flower) in an intended soft target, with no deviation, fragmentation, or separation. To make matters even more complicated,  there had to be no exit beyond 18 inches of soft target. 

The crazy geniuses at Velocitas did just that. Simply put, this is a marvel of science, and you can view their testing data by clicking here.

Why is this important? Law Enforcement and Military members are tasked with the sacred duty of protecting our country, and our communities. Having the confidence of knowing your rounds will perform a certain way, will allow those in harm's way to perform their duties to the best of their abilities. 

The importance of reducing collateral damage cannot be overstated. When our finest men and women are forced to make split-second, and sometimes life and death choices, having reliable tools at your disposal is critical. Unfortunately, the actual projectile is often overlooked.

According to their website, “Velocitas is founded on a strong commitment to quality, American values, and the pursuit of excellence in the firearms industry. We prioritize quality over quantity and aim to deliver a differentiated product that exceeds industry standards. Our dedication to superior quality, American-made materials, innovation, and exceptional customer service sets us apart." 

So whether you reload recreationally, or you are looking to provide your unit with the finest possible projectiles, check out Velocitas. Their solid copper, hollow point projectiles are compatible for 9mm handguns in military, law enforcement and self-defense applications. They also make a variety of other calibers and can work to fulfill specific needs within your department.
