Solved from this product's advertised 1155 fps, 115gr bullet and G1 BC 0.129, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 9mm Luger, or read Pistol Red Dot: 10-Yard vs 25-Yard Zero.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.

Product Overview

Zeroed at 25 yards it is 1.3 inches low at 50, where it holds 1,038 fps with 275 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 4.1 ft-lbs, just over Hornady Critical Defense 115 FTX.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady Critical Defense 115 FTX is 20 fps slower at 1,135 fps and fills its nose cavity with a polymer tip. Federal Premium HST 124 runs at much the same speed on a heavier bullet, for 364 ft-lbs.
- Standard pressure, so it runs in any sound 9mm without a +P rating, where Winchester Defender +P 124 Bonded needs one
- 12 ft-lbs over Hornady Critical Defense 115 FTX at the muzzle
- About 20 percent less estimated recoil than Winchester Defender +P 124 Bonded in the same pistol
- Only Hornady Critical Defense 115 FTX holds less energy at 50 yards among the loads compared
- A hollow point sold for target use, where the other five loads compared are sold for defense or duty
