In the realm of self-defense ammunition, innovation is paramount. The Xtreme Defense Fluid Transfer Monolithic (XD FTM) bullet exemplifies this principle by redefining how defensive rounds perform under pressure. Designed with advanced technology and precision engineering, this solid copper projectile stands apart from conventional options in both form and function.
The XD FTM's defining feature is its progressive nose geometry, reminiscent of the formidable Xtreme Penetrator. This design allows for deep, straight penetration while creating a permanent wound cavity that surpasses most expanding bullets on the market today. Unlike traditional hollow points that can falter against barriers like drywall or heavy clothing, the XD FTM maintains its trajectory and integrity upon impact.
The secret lies in the revolutionary nose design—specifically, the radial flutes of Fluid Transfer technology. These flutes channel hydraulic energy inward before accelerating it outward at high velocity. This results in high-pressure spikes capable of inflicting severe tissue damage well beyond what typical projectiles achieve.
This dynamic increase in fluid transfer causes cavitation effects far exceeding those produced by standard hollow points. As such, shooters are provided with a permanent wound cavity two to four times larger than those created by flat or round-nosed bullets—and often greater than even traditional solid copper expanding types.
For practitioners seeking reliability through obstacles without sacrificing performance on target acquisition—the XD FTM offers 18 inches of desired penetration coupled with unmatched wound channels making it an indispensable choice for personal defense scenarios where every shot counts.
