Default FBI's new 9mm ammo

As most of you know, the FBI put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) for four types of new 9mm ammunition. The four types are: (1) Service; (2) Training; (3) Reduced Lead Training; and, (4) Frangible. See RFP-OSCU-DSU1301.

The contracts have been awarded to three manufacturers, and not all manufacturers got all four types of ammunition.

Federal got all four types, Olin-Winchester got all but frangible, and Hornady got only frangible.

Here are the contract award numbers and the companies. The product numbers for each type of ammo are in parentheses.

Federal Cartridge Contract Number J-FBI-13-126

Service (54227),

Training (53685),

Reduced Lead Training (53690),

Frangible (ZBC9P1FBI)

Olin-Winchester Contract Number J-FBI-13-127

Service (Q4392),

Training (Q4395),

Reduced Lead Training (Q4396)

Hornady Manufacturing Contract Number J-FBI-13-128

Frangible (90229)

UPDATE: PER TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH WINCHESTER, Q4392 is a 147 grain Bonded Hollow Point, sold to other LE as the RA9B; Q4395 is a 147 grain Encapsulated, sold to other LE as RA9147FMJ; and Q4396 is a 124 grain FMJ Encapsulated with lead free primer.
