Product Overview
The FN Herstal SS195LF is the lead-free option in the factory 5.7x28mm lineup. Its lightweight 27-grain JHP bullet screams out at 2132 fps, generating 282 ft-lbs of energy from the pistol. This load was designed for indoor ranges and training environments where lead contamination concerns exist. Law enforcement agencies and military units that train extensively indoors often specify lead-free ammunition, making the SS195LF a natural fit.
The lighter bullet weight creates even less felt recoil than standard 5.7 loads. New shooters and those practicing rapid follow-up shots will find this round easy to control. The flat trajectory at close to moderate distances makes it straightforward to train at indoor range distances of 7 to 25 yards. Some shooters use it for defensive carry, banking on the high velocity and hollow point expansion to compensate for the lighter bullet mass.
California and other states with strict lead regulations at ranges make the SS195LF a practical choice for compliance. The JHP design offers expansion potential on soft targets, though the lightweight construction may limit penetration depth. For range work at facilities with lead restrictions, this round delivers the 5.7x28mm experience without regulatory headaches.
