Overview

SIG Sauer V-Crown 124-grain features a stacked hollow point design that creates the distinctive V-shaped cavity the line is named for. This geometry promotes controlled, uniform expansion with good weight retention. The Tec-Loc concentric blackened bullet ensures consistent seating and reliable ignition.

In Lucky Gunner's gel testing, the 124gr V-Crown achieved 17.34 inches of penetration with 0.516 inches of expansion. The V-shaped expansion pattern creates a clean, consistent wound channel with good energy transfer. Performance falls solidly within the FBI protocol window.

V-Crown is a solid mid-tier defensive option that performs well across a range of 9mm platforms. It's particularly popular among SIG pistol owners who prefer brand-matched ammunition, though it functions equally well in any quality 9mm pistol. The price typically falls between Federal Punch (budget) and Federal HST (premium), offering good performance per dollar.
