2025’s New Gear Rollout: Fiocchi CovertX Self-Defense Ammo

It’s so much more than “yet another jacketed hollowpoint.”

Concealed carriers face some unique challenges, particularly balancing concealability against shootability. Did you know that your ammo can help? It can now, with Fiocchi‘s brand-new CovertX line—a groundbreaking new ammunition series tailored for concealed carry practitioners and defense professionals. This revolutionary product raises the bar in performance, reliability, and innovation.

Building on nearly 150 years of ammunition expertise and a reputation for delivering the highest quality of products, Fiocchi engineered CovertX to meet the unique demands of modern CCW users. Designed from the ground up, CovertX offers unmatched terminal performance by optimizing bullet design and powder selection for compact and micro-compact handguns, without sacrificing the power of full-sized platforms.

At the heart of CovertX is an advanced proprietary bullet—a precision-engineered jacketed hollow point (JHP) featuring a lead-alloy core with pre-cut serrations. This innovative design ensures reliable, uniform expansion upon impact, maintaining devastating energy transfer and deep penetration for life-saving performance. Its copper jacket is meticulously tuned for controlled expansion across a wide velocity range, providing dependable stopping power in critical moments.

Fiocchi didn’t stop with just the bullet. Extensive research and testing led to the development of unique powder formulations for each caliber. The result? Reduced muzzle flip, low flash signature, and a softer shooting experience that allows for faster, more accurate follow-up shots—ideal for CCW users who rely on smaller handguns in high-pressure scenarios.

Recognizing the challenges of daily carry, Fiocchi equipped CovertX with nickel-plated brass cases. These high-performance casings resist corrosion and ensure seamless feeding and extraction, even in environments filled with dust, lint, or moisture. This attention to detail guarantees reliability when it matters most.

The new Fiocchi CovertX ammunition comes in 20-round boxes or 10 boxes per case. Available loads include:

• .380 Auto: 95-gr. JHP, 1025 fps, #380CCWA
• 9mm Luger: 124-gr. JHP, 1115 fps, #9CCWB
