Deep Dive

Overview

The Target Sports USA APEX 9mm Luger 118 Grain Xtreme Defense ammunition is crafted specifically for self-defense and tactical scenarios, where reliable penetration and injury potential are critical. The Lehigh Xtreme Defense bullet design is revolutionary in offering a non-expanding but deeply penetrating round that maximizes the wounding effect through fluid dynamics—exceeding traditional hollow-point ammunition. This pioneering technology ensures a more predictable impact, no matter the intermediate barriers.

History and Development

This ammunition is the result of collaboration between Target Sports USA and SBR, leveraging Lehigh Defense's innovative projectile designs. Initially aimed at meeting the demands of tactical shooters, the APEX ammunition line has rapidly gained popularity among civilian users for personal defense due to its unique design features. The development focused on creating ammunition that could reliably penetrate clothing and other barriers without compromising lethality, a balance precisely achieved with the Xtreme Defense bullet architecture.
