Applications

The HST line was developed to address certain limitations observed in the Hydra-Shok design, particularly regarding expansion consistency through various barriers. While Hydra-Shok ammunition features a central post intended to aid expansion, it sometimes exhibited inconsistent performance when penetrating materials like heavy clothing. The HST design eliminates the central post and incorporates strategically engineered skives in the jacket, promoting more reliable and uniform expansion across diverse conditions. This advancement results in superior terminal performance, making HST a preferred choice for self-defense applications.
