Looking for 9mm range ammo that has a little extra pep in its step – but don’t necessarily want to train with 9mm +P? Then 9mm NATO is the answer! Winchester loaded this ammo to North Atlantic Treaty Organization specs so you can train with flatter trajectories and hit your targets just a little bit harder!
This cartridge’s 124 grain full metal jacket is pretty normal. Neither its copper-alloy jacket nor its lead core can attract a magnet, and its round nose profile means it won’t expand as it tunnels through a soft medium. What makes a 9mm NATO round special is its higher chamber pressure: ~36,500 psi, which places it between standard pressure (≤35,000 psi) and overpressure (≤38,500 psi).
An important word of advice: although this ammo technically isn’t +P, it’s still only safe for handguns that are designed to handle +P ammo’s higher chamber pressure. Check your firearm’s manual if you aren’t sure (or ask us in the Q&A below). This noncorrosive American-made ammo is loaded with reloadable brass cases.

Q: Are NATO rounds acceptable in a Beretta 92X Compact?
Posted On: 9/22/2023 By: WILLIAM ROBERTSON
A: Yes sir, this ammunition should treat your 92X just fine!
Q: acceptable in a Smith & Wesson 9c?
Posted On: 9/20/2023 By: fotomatt
A: Yes sir, absolutely. The 9c is rated for 9mm +P ammunition. 9mm NATO is actually loaded to a lower pressure than 9mm +P, which means your handgun is designed to safely handle even more pressure than this ammo is capable of generating.
Q: Can nato rounds be fired from a Kimber 3” 1911 Ultra Saphhire or a Glock 43x?
Posted On: 9/13/2023 By: Jeffrey Lovelace
A: Thanks for reaching out Jeffrey! All Kimber and Glock 9mm handguns are designed to safely fire 9mm +P ammunition. The 9mm NATO is loaded to a lower chamber pressure than 9mm +P, which means your handguns are more than robust enough to safely fire this ammo.
