Frangible 9mm Bullets

Frangible 9mm bullets are engineered for one purpose: safety without compromise. Whether you’re training indoors, shooting steel targets, or running high-speed close-quarters drills, frangible ammo gives you the performance you need — without the risks of ricochet or over-penetration. These bullets are designed to disintegrate on impact with hard surfaces, making them ideal for environments where traditional full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds can be dangerous.

At Raven Rocks Precision, we stock in-demand frangible 9mm bullets built for high-volume training and professional use. Our inventory includes compressed copper or copper-tin bullets that are lead-free, clean-burning, and ready to ship. Whether you’re a law enforcement trainer, competitive shooter, or tactical instructor, frangible rounds offer a safer way to stay sharp.

What Are Frangible 9mm Bullets?

Frangible bullets are made by compressing powdered metal — usually copper or tin — into a solid projectile. Unlike conventional bullets, they don’t use a lead core or full metal jacket. Instead, they’re built to break apart into dust upon hitting a hard surface. This design drastically reduces the chance of ricochet, spalling, or over-penetration in close-quarters environments.

Frangible 9mm rounds are ballistically consistent with standard FMJ ammo, but safer for steel targets and indoor use. They’re especially effective in shoot houses, force-on-force training, steel plate matches, and simulations where shooter safety is paramount.

Why Choose Frangible Over FMJ?

While FMJ is great for general range work, it’s not always the right choice for close-quarters training or high-density ranges. Frangible 9mm bullets are:

• Lead-Free:Safer for shooters and range staff, especially indoors
• Low-Risk for Ricochet:Disintegrates on impact with steel or concrete
• Compliant with Indoor Range Policies:Many facilities now require frangible-only ammo
• Cleaner:Minimal airborne particles and less barrel fouling
• Environmentally Responsible:No toxic lead residue left behind

What to Know Before Buying

When choosing frangible 9mm bullets, here’s what to consider:

• Bullet Weight:Most frangible bullets come in 90–100 gr. They shoot flatter and faster than 115gr+ FMJs and reduce felt recoil.
• Material:Look for compressed copper or copper-tin blends — they break consistently and leave less residue.
• Firearm Compatibility:Safe for use in all standard 9mm handguns and PCCs. No special equipment required.
• Training Purpose:Ideal for target training, tactical drills, and steel shooting — not for self-defense or barrier penetration.
