121gr 9mm Selous Ammunition (20 Rounds)

Pre-Order Expected Shipping Date Q3 2025

For the past nine years Discreet Ballistics has been focused on producing the most effective subsonic centerfire rifle ammunition available. The thought of producing defensive handgun ammunition was never a consideration until recently. We began observing a trend in modern handgun terminal ballistics which places more value on penetration at the expense of projectile expansion. This trend runs counter to what we have been observing in our live tissue tests over the years; namely that large expansion with adequate penetration generates quicker incapacitation.

Today we are excited to announce we will be opening pre-orders for our new 121gr Selous 9mm loads. This defensive handgun ammunition uses a brand new projectile that was developed using the same proprietary technology we use in our subsonic rifle ammunition. Built into the machined solid copper projectile is a hinge mechanism which ensures large expansion in tissue while maintaining its structural integrity through barriers such as fabric, drywall, and auto glass.

We are offering the new 121gr Selous 9mm loads in P, +P and +P+ loadings. Our standard pressure rounds (P loadings) will be loaded in traditional brass casings. Our +P and +P+ loadings will be loaded using NAS3 hybrid cases. Estimated Glock 19 muzzle velocities are as follows:

P loading – 1150FPS
+P loading – 1200FPS
+P+ loading – 1250FPS

We expect to begin shipping preorders in Q3 2025. In the mean time we will continue to dial in loadings with a wide variety of handguns and subguns. We will also continue adding to our library of live tissue terminal ballistics data.
