Maxim
Defense Ammunition – SBA (Short Barrel Ammunition)
Maxim Defense is committed to
developing the next-generation tools, equipment, and systems that exceed in the
most extreme environments. Today’s short barrel weapons excel in close-quarter
encounters but sometimes lack the velocities and terminal ballistics that
longer barrels have. To address these concerns, Maxim Defense partnered with
Fort Scott Munitions to optimize ammunition loads specifically for short barrel
weapons.
By making these adjustments, as well as including their TUI® (Tumble Upon Impact™) technology, the Maxim Defense Ammunition ballistic wound cavities exceed the standards of both Expanding and Fragmenting projectiles. The TUI® design of the projectiles tumble all the way down to 500 fps. Maxim Defense SBA (Short Barrel Ammunition) is the ultimate choice for when close quarter battle and personal defense are non-negotiable. MSRP $27.94 – $36.95
