SinterFire 9mm Special Duty 100gr HP Ammo Ballistics
Brass Case • Frangible HP
Solved from this product's advertised 1350 fps, 100gr bullet and G1 BC 0.115, 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
SinterFire's Special Duty 100-grain is a lead-free frangible hollow point 9mm load made for self-defense and law enforcement duty. Powdered metal pressed into shape takes the place of a cast lead core, and the nose is hollow-pointed. It leaves the muzzle at 1,350 fps with 405 ft-lbs, the most of the three loads compared.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 0.9 inches low at 50, where it still holds 1,152 fps with 295 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 4.0 ft-lbs, the most of the three.
If you're cross-shopping, Norma's MLE 94-grain Frangible is 34 fps slower at 1,316 fps with 361 ft-lbs and a plain frangible nose. 1776 USA's lead-free 90-grain ball matches this load's 1,350 fps for 364 ft-lbs.
- No lead anywhere in the bullet, for ranges that bar it
- The most muzzle energy of the three loads compared, 41 ft-lbs over 1776 USA's 90-grain ball
- The most speed at 50 yards of the three compared
- The hardest-kicking of the three compared, about 23 percent over 1776 USA's 90-grain ball in the same pistol
- Supersonic at the muzzle, so a suppressed pistol still gets a sonic crack
