Description

Hodgdon CFE® Pistol is a spherical pistol propellant designed for competitive shooters and handloaders assembling target or self-defense loads. It offers optimum performance in popular handgun cartridges including 9mm Luger, .38 Super, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, with application in many additional cartridges supported by Hodgdon data.

The defining feature is Hodgdon’s Copper Fouling Eraser ingredient, originally used in military propellant. It is formulated to greatly deter copper fouling, helping shooters maintain longer periods of top accuracy while spending less time on barrel cleaning.

For the handloader who wants a purpose-built pistol powder for range work, competition, or defensive-load applications, CFE Pistol brings a practical advantage to the bench: attention to fouling management alongside performance in widely used pistol cartridges. As always, use Hodgdon published load data for the exact cartridge and load combination.

Hodgdon CFE Pistol is made in the USA and is available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers.

    1st 9mm reload. Results excellent

    Posted by Kenneth O Larson on Jul 23rd 2026

    I just starting reloading and read various opinions and reviews and settled on trying CPE pistol. I have been range shooting 9mm 115gr FMJ and wanted to try 124gr FMJ in reloads. I used minimum powder load. The result was less recoil and the casings and pistol seems cleaner. It was a good choice. I'm loading a few hundred more.

    Favorite Pistol powder

    Posted by John on Apr 14th 2026

    I started out with Titegroup and it worked well and I liked it a lot then I tried HS-6 and Longshot but ever since CFE Pistol came out it has been my go to as I wanted to have powder but wanted to cut down on having so many different types. Was happy to find you have it in stock and it was easy to order and delivery was great. Keep up the good work!

    Cfe pistol powder

    Posted by Eric on Aug 4th 2022

    This is my go to handgun powder... It is extremely clean burning measures easily, accurately and most importantly it measures consistent. Produces accurate rounds for everything 9mm to 45acp. Just wish it was easier to find locally but the state Nazis make that difficult
