New Product Launch: 90 Grain "Tactical" and 95 Grain "Training" Rounds
Overview
We’re excited to announce the latest additions to Rocket City Ammunition’s lineup: the 90-grain Tactical and 95-grain Training 9mm rounds! These innovative products are designed to meet the needs of today’s shooters, delivering exceptional performance and versatility, particularly for compact compensated carry guns.
The 90 Grain Tactical Round
Compact carry pistols with shorter barrels often struggle to generate the velocities required for optimal hollow-point expansion, making it challenging to achieve good results. The 90-grain Tactical round solves this problem with a high-velocity design that ensures reliable expansion and exceptional performance, even in shorter-barreled firearms.
Another standout feature of the Tactical round is how it interacts with compensated pistols. Thanks to the substantial expanding gas volume behind the projectile, compensators become highly efficient, dramatically reducing muzzle flip and improving control. This is especially beneficial for the growing number of compact compensated models like the P365 Macro, C4920P Elite, and FN 509 CC Edge. Additionally, our 90-grain Tactical round is built with premium nickel-coated cases for enhanced corrosion resistance, smoother feeding, and ultimate reliability.
The 95 Grain Training Round
We know that consistent training is key to improving performance, which is why we’ve introduced the 95-grain FMJ Training round as the perfect companion to the Tactical load. This affordable option closely mimics the performance characteristics of the Tactical round, allowing you to practice and refine your skills with realistic recoil and velocity, without the premium cost.
While the Training round does not use nickel-coated cases, it’s constructed with the same attention to quality and consistency you’ve come to expect from Rocket City Ammunition. It’s ideal for high-volume practice sessions and training environments where precision and reliability are critical.
Ballistics Testing Coming Soon
As part of our commitment to transparency and performance, we’ll be releasing detailed ballistics testing results for the Tactical round in the near future. This data will include information on velocity, consistency, and terminal performance, so you can see exactly how these rounds perform under real-world conditions. Stay tuned for these results, which will further showcase the precision and quality built into every Rocket City Ammunition product.
Why These Rounds Matter
The 90-grain Tactical and 95-grain Training rounds were designed with modern shooters in mind. Whether you’re looking for cutting-edge performance in a compact carry pistol or an affordable way to train with realistic ballistics, these rounds deliver on all fronts. We’re proud to offer products that not only perform but also address specific challenges faced by today’s firearms and shooters.
