Federal Personal Defense Hydra-Shok 32 ACP 65 grain jacketed hollow point P32HS1 ammo uses a 65-grain hollow point with the original Hydra-Shok center-post design. This 32 ACP load belongs to Federal's established Personal Defense family, not the newer Hydra-Shok Deep configuration with a differently developed core.
A post standing inside the hollow-point cavity is the original Hydra-Shok's signature feature. It changes the internal shape of the bullet nose and is intended to influence expansion upon impact. The smaller 32 ACP cartridge makes it particularly important to evaluate this ammo in the actual pocket pistol instead of borrowing results from larger Hydra-Shok calibers.
The center-post shape differs from the round-nose bullets often used to practice with small pocket pistols. A check of magazine feeding and where this ammunition strikes through the intended sights helps determine whether this specialized defensive projectile is suitable for that individual handgun. At 925 fps, Federal's 65-grain Hydra-Shok gives 32 ACP shooters a particular bullet-weight and velocity combination, packaged in 20 nickel-cased cartridges.
