Fiocchi USA has just launched the Covert X product line of defensive ammunition optimized for self-defense and concealed carriers. Reliability and maximum performance in modern micro and ultra-compact carry guns are some of the most important factors in this new defensive ammunition, which is why both the bullet design and propellants used in Covert X products are optimized for this new crop of modern carry guns such as the Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield, SIG Sauer P365, Springfield Armory Hellcat, Glock G43, Taurus GX4, FN Reflex and others.
Fiocchi Covert X ammunition comes packaged in 20-round boxes or 200-round cases (10 boxes per case). Available Fiocchi Covert X chamberings don’t just include the requisite 9mm or .380 ACP loads, as Covert X also covers .38 Spl. and .357 Mag. carry revolvers and .45 ACP.
Fiocchi Covert X Available Loads:
- .380 ACP, 95-grain JHP: 1,025 fps muzzle velocity
- 9mm, 124-grain JHP: 1,115 fps muzzle velocity
- .45 ACP, 230-grain JHP: 875 fps muzzle velocity
- .38 Spl.+P, 125-grain JHP: 1,200 fps muzzle velocity
- .357 Mag, 125-grain JHP: 1,425 fps muzzle velocity
When it comes to defensive or duty ammo, flash signature is a critical consideration. Each of the five different calibers in the Fiocchi Covert X product line use unique powder formulations to prevent needless muzzle flash in order to reduce the firearm’s signature and not blind the shooter. Similarly, the powders used to load Covert X ammunition guarantee a more thorough burn through shorter barrels.
Covert X ammo is loaded with a modern jacketed hollow point bullet using a lead-alloy core and pre-cut serrations over its jacketing to guarantee controlled expansion at the muzzle velocities that shorter barreled carry guns tend to produce.
