Our Foundation: Upholding Constitutional Values

We're a Type 06 FFL manufacturer, machining and loading every round in Texas from solid copper.

Our Position: Quality Over Quantity

We'd rather make fewer rounds we can stand behind than chase volume. Every product and component is hand inspected before it ships.

Our Differentiators: Superior Quality, American-Made

Solid copper, CNC-machined with a sharp nose and precision-cut slits, so the round drives through hard barriers and performs on the target, up close or at distance.

Our Target Market: Meeting Diverse Needs

Built for law enforcement and military duty, trusted by civilians for home defense, and accurate enough for the range.

Our Vision for Success: A Trusted Brand

Our focus is solving problems. We engineer to a high standard for law enforcement, military, and the everyday shooter, at a competitive cost.

Our Competitors: Challenging the Giants

We've run the VX9 head to head against a leading defensive hollow point through the full FBI barrier sequence. Through glass and auto doors it folds in and holds together, keeping nearly all its weight where lead-core rounds shed theirs, then opens up on the soft target behind.

Why We Cut Slits in the Nose of Our VX9

Look closely at the nose of a VX9 bullet and you'll see thin slits cut into the copper. They're small, and they do most of the work. They're how one solid copper bullet handles two very different hits: soft tissue, and something hard in the way first. Solid copper, with the opening built in The VX9 is a 96-grain 9mm hollow point machined from solid copper in Amarillo, Texas. There's no lead core and no jacket, so there's nothing to separate. That also means the way the bullet

How We Test Our Ammunition

Every penetration and expansion number we publish comes from a bullet that was fired into a gel block, dug back out, measured and weighed. Here's what a test day looks like, and why each step is there. It starts with a data sheet Every test day gets its own sheet before the first shot. We write down the date, the start and end times, the temperature at the start and at the end, the cartridge and bullet, and for each test, the gun and the distance. Temperature is on there beca

Solid Copper vs. Lead-Core Hollow Points: What's the Difference?

Most defensive 9mm on the shelf is a lead-core hollow point: a lead core inside a thin copper jacket. The VX9 is one solid piece of copper. Here's what that difference changes, and where it matters. How a lead-core hollow point is built A jacketed hollow point is two parts. Lead makes up most of the weight because it's heavy and soft, and the copper jacket holds it together and lets the nose open. When it works, it works well. The weak spot is where the two metals meet.
