Handgun Ammunition for Sale

Choosing handgun ammunition

Most shooters keep two kinds of pistol ammo on hand: inexpensive practice rounds for the range and a premium defensive load for carry. The grid above shows what is in stock now.

Range and practice handgun loads

Full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds are the affordable choice for drills and high-volume range days. Buying in bulk drops your cost per round, which matters when you train often with a 9mm or .45 pistol.

Self-defense handgun loads

Jacketed hollow point (JHP) loads are built for carry, expanding on impact to transfer energy reliably. Run a box or two through your specific pistol first, since defensive rounds can feed differently from gun to gun.

Popular handgun calibers

Nine millimeter is the easiest to find and shoot and covers most carry and duty Glocks, while .40 S&W, .45 ACP and 10mm step up the energy for those who want it. Match the caliber to the chambering stamped on your barrel.

How handgun ammunition ships

Unlike a firearm, pistol ammunition needs no licensed dealer in most states and ships straight to your door with tracking. A few states and cities regulate ammunition sales, so confirm your local rules first. See our Shipping Policy for details.

Handgun ammunition questions

What caliber does my pistol take?

Your chambering is stamped on the barrel or slide. Buy only that caliber; never fire a round your firearm is not marked for.

Range rounds or defensive rounds?

Train with cheap FMJ practice ammo and carry a tested hollow point load. Buying practice rounds in bulk is the cheapest way to shoot often.

Can I buy handgun ammunition online?

Yes, in most of the country it ships directly to you. Some states require an ID check or a licensed receiver, so check your state and city rules before ordering.
