Pilgrim Ammunition's line of ammo demonstrates multiple key benefits for consumers and law enforcement. The primary benefit of Pilgrim Ammunition is its stopping power. Most of the traditional handgun ammunition on the market does not dissipate its energy upon entering a soft tissue target, but tends to over-penetrate, thus making it more likely to strike bystanders. Pilgrim Ammunition’s rounds expand into a starburst pattern, slowing the round while creating devastating wound channels, with minimal chance of over-penetration. For both personal defense and law enforcement, the ability to stop an assailant is paramount. Minimal over-penetration protects innocent bystanders and can lessen the chance of lawsuits against police agencies.
The up and coming rounds, which include .380 Auto, 9mm +P, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP +P projectiles, also all offer less felt recoil than traditional handgun ammo. For new shooters, and individuals with sensitivity to recoil, the Pilgrim Ammunition line-up reduces issues, such as flinch, by making the experience more comfortable. Another valuable benefit is the reduced weight of the cartridges. For police officers or anyone that carries additional magazines or a fully loaded conceal carry on a daily basis, less weight to carry means less stress on the human body and greater prevention of physical injury without compromising on superior firepower.
