Fiocchi 9mm 158 gr FMJ Subsonic – Heavyweight bullet for minimal noise
The Fiocchi 9mm 158 gr FMJ Subsonic is designed for shooters seeking a quiet, low-recoil option for target practice, training, and suppressed shooting. Its heavier 158-grain bullet flies at subsonic speeds, staying under the sound barrier to minimize the “crack” heard when firing. This round is an excellent choice for suppressor users, as it ensures quiet operation without compromising performance. It’s also great for general target practice, thanks to its clean-burning powder and smooth cycling in semi-automatic firearms.

FAQs:
1. Is Fiocchi 9mm 158 gr FMJ Subsonic good for self-defense?
While it can be used for self-defense, it’s not the best choice. JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) ammo is recommended for self-defense, as it expands on impact, unlike FMJ rounds.
2. Does Fiocchi 158 gr work with a suppressor?
Yes! This round is engineered for suppressor use. Its subsonic velocity (940 fps) eliminates the supersonic crack, making it one of the best options for quiet shooting.
3. Can I use Fiocchi 158 gr in my semi-automatic pistol?
Absolutely. The Fiocchi 9mm 158 gr FMJ Subsonic is designed for reliable feeding, firing, and ejection in modern semi-automatic handguns.
4. Is this ammo reloadable?
Yes, Fiocchi ammo features reloadable brass casings, which are great for reloaders who like to customize their loads.
5. What makes this “subsonic” different from standard 9mm ammo?
Typical 9mm ammo travels at speeds over 1100 fps, which creates a loud sonic boom (the “crack” sound) as it breaks the sound barrier. Subsonic ammo stays under 1100 fps, reducing noise and making it ideal for suppressors.
