Product Overview
Federal Hydra-Shok .32 ACP 65gr JHP brings one of the most recognized defensive bullet designs to the small-caliber market. The Hydra-Shok uses a center-post hollow point that has been trusted by law enforcement and civilians since the late 1980s. At 925 fps with 123 ft-lbs of energy, this is a standard-pressure load safe for any .32 ACP pistol.
The nickel-plated cases resist corrosion during extended carry in pocket holsters or ankle rigs where sweat and humidity are constant. This matters for a backup gun that might be loaded for months before firing. The 65-grain bullet is heavier than most .32 ACP defensive loads, providing good momentum despite the moderate velocity.
Federal's Hydra-Shok has proven itself in larger calibers over decades of use. In .32 ACP, it gives you a defensive hollow point from a premium manufacturer. This load works in classic pistols like the Walther PP/PPK, Beretta Tomcat, or modern pocket guns. The combination of Federal's quality control and the Hydra-Shok design makes this a solid choice for .32 ACP carry.
