CorBon Pow'RBall 9mm Luger +P Ammunition 100 Grain Polymer Tip - PB09100/20
CorBon Pow'RBall 9mm Luger +P, 100 grain, is purpose-built 9mm ammo that pairs dependable cycling with controlled hollow point terminal performance for compact semi-automatic pistols. The bullet uses a gilding metal jacket and a lead core shaped into a patented "V" cavity, topped with a round polymer ball to improve aerodynamics and ensure consistent, reliable operation. On impact the polymer ball delays expansion for deeper penetration before the jacket peels back into a full mushroom, producing clothing-resistant expansion and reduced recoil. Performance is rated at 1475 fps and 483 ft·lbs from a 4.0 inch test barrel. This 9mm ammo from CorBon is a Glaser Pow’RBall, a patented polymer-tipped HP.
Features and Specifications:
- Performance Metrics: Reaches approximately 1475 fps and generates about 483 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from a 4" test barrel, producing a fast, penetrating profile suitable for close-range defensive scenarios.
- Design & Feeding: Patented Pow’RBall construction seats a round polymer insert in the hollow cavity and crimps it in place, resulting in FMJ-like feeding behavior that reduces nose deformation and feeding interruptions in short-stroke slides.
- Bullet Construction: Gilding metal jacket over a V-shaped lead core engineered for balanced expansion and high retained mass, supporting predictable wound channels.
- Polymer Tip Function: The polymer tip insert prevents cavity clogging by fabric or debris and smooths the nose profile for better magazine feed; on impact the insert displaces inward and delays expansion to allow controlled penetration before symmetric mushrooming.
- Recoil Characteristics: The 100-grain projectile at +P velocities delivers strong terminal energy while keeping perceived recoil lower than many heavier defensive loads, enabling quicker sight recovery for follow-up shots.
- Packaging & Fulfillment: Sold in boxes of 20. This 9mm bulk ammo is sold in 500 rounds per case, shipped free through Target Sports USA.
- Made In: Manufactured in the USA under CORBON quality controls.
Deep Dive
Overview
The CORBON Pow'RBall 9 mm Luger ammo is engineered to solve feeding and expansion problems found in some pistols, particularly compact models. CORBON’s Pow’RBall features a round polymer tip modifier that promotes FMJ-like feeding while preserving the hollow-point bullet type terminal performance expected from premium defensive rounds. In its 9mm Luger 100 gr configuration, this load is well suited to concealed carry, law-enforcement backups, and other high-stress situations where reliable cycling and consistent terminal behavior are essential. Offered as 9mm bulk ammo through Target Sports USA, this CorBon 9mm Pow’RBall is a practical 9mm defense ammo choice that helps reduce jams and misfires when it matters most.
History and Development
Pow’RBall started as CORBON’s engineering solution to a common field problem: how to preserve hollow-point terminal performance while eliminating feeding issues in compact pistols. Engineers developed and patented a round polymer tip insert and optimized the V-cavity core and jacket specifications through staged bench and live-fire testing. The 9mm Luger 100 gr configuration was validated for short-stroke slides and compact platforms. This USA production ensures tightened manufacturing tolerances and enhanced quality-assurance processes. The result is a trusted CorBon 9mm defensive option now offered as 9mm bulk ammo for armories and high-use buyers.
