Product Description
An original 9×19mm Parabellum (9mm Luger) THV (Très Haute Vitesse) inert cartridge bearing the PS 9mm LUGER headstamp and fitted with the distinctive solid brass THV-style projectile.
The THV (Très Haute Vitesse – "Very High Velocity") concept was developed in France during the early 1980s as a lightweight, high-velocity pistol cartridge intended primarily for police and specialist law enforcement use. 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.
This example carries the PS headstamp of Považské Strojárne, Slovakia. Similar cartridges were produced for specialist police contracts using THV-style solid brass projectiles, making them an unusual and increasingly sought-after variation among modern ammunition collectors.
The unusual projectile design makes this a standout addition to collections of 9mm ammunition, specialist law enforcement cartridges, THV ammunition, or modern cartridge development.
