The non-expanding ARX is injection-molded from a specially blended
copper/polymer matrix that is designed to be tough enough to penetrate soft
targets and tissue, but when it encounters tougher barriers it is designed
to break apart to reduce the risk for collateral damage due to over
penetration. Even the heaviest clothing barriers have no effect on the
terminal performance of the ARX bullet. The ARX penetrates straight until
it encounters soft tissue. Upon entering soft tissue, the specially
designed grooves in the nose harness the rotational energy of the bullet
during the initial 6" of penetration. As the bullet penetrates it tumbles
in a controlled, predictable fashion that delivers very consistent terminal
performance that equals or exceeds conventional hollow point designs. In
soft tissue, the ARX is designed to penetrate 12" to 14", every time.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 9mm Luger (9X19mm, Parabellum, P08) was developed in Germany in 1902. Widely used in both world wars, it is the most popular pistol cartridge in the world, now widely used by innumerable law enforcement agencies and militaries (including our own) in both pistols and submachineguns. The controversy over its "stopping power" will never go away, but its attribute is that it is much easier to shoot accurately than larger cartridges with greater power...but more recoil. Advancements in bullet design for law enforcement and personal defense have narrowed the gap considerably. The 9mm Luger is a world standard, chambered by virtually all makers of semiautomatic pistols, with a myriad of factory loads. The most standard is probably a 115-grain load at 1160 fps, with common bullet weights ranging from 95 to 147 grains, and +P loads at higher velocity.
