Introducing the .357 Magnum NXD 158 gr The NXD - Non-eXpanding Defensive round Engineered from the ground up for defensive use, the NXD solves two persistent problems with traditional hollow-point ammunition: clogging and uncontrolled over-penetration. Its precision-machined, fluted projectile channels soft-tissue fluid at impact, accelerating that material to roughly 1.5-2x the initial impact velocity and redirecting it into surrounding tissue. The result is faster, more efficient energy transfer and a larger permanent wound cavity than conventional hollow points - while maintaining reliable feeding, low recoil, and consistent terminal performance. Why the NXD matters Resists clogging - fluted geometry prevents fouling from blocking the cavity so the round performs on messy, real-world targets. Reduced over-penetration - energy is intentionally dispersed into surrounding tissue rather than carried through, improving stopping effectiveness while lowering risk to bystanders. Devastating energy transfer - design accelerates and redirects tissue/fluid to maximize permanent cavity size versus equivalent hollow-point projectiles. Reliable function - machined form factor and strict QC deliver consistent feeding and cycling in common defensive platforms. Shooter-friendly - engineered for controllable recoil and repeatable shot placement. Key features Precision fluted projectile for fluid dispersion and energy redirection Engineered to maintain terminal effectiveness when the cavity risks being fouled Consistent dimensions for dependable magazine and chamber compatibility Optimized for lower felt recoil and follow-up shot control Manufactured in the USA
