Unlike conventional jacketed bullets, the THV projectile is precision machined from solid brass, making it significantly lighter than standard 9mm bullets while allowing much higher muzzle velocities. Its unique profile was designed to maximise energy transfer while maintaining reliable feeding in self-loading pistols. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"2152\"\u003eThis example carries the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1856\" data-end=\"1862\"\u003ePS\u003c\/strong\u003e headstamp of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1898\"\u003ePovažské Strojárne\u003c\/strong\u003e, Slovakia.
