Description
Details
We’re not saying that the great John Browning designed the 45 ACP wrong. All we’re saying is that it could be a little more … you know … powerful. If you find yourself nodding in sensible agreement with that statement, then we’ve got just the 45 ACP ammo for you – or, more specifically, the 45 ACP +P ammo you need!
The average 45 ACP 185 grain bullet takes 1,050 fps muzzle velocity out of a 5” barrel. This overpressure round’s 185 grain bullet takes an extra 100 fps, which is why its close-range striking energy is around 20% higher. It may come at the cost of more recoil (and accelerated wear and tear on a semi-auto’s barrel and moving parts), but harder striking power can be quite a welcome thing during a self-defense scenario.
This round’s jacketed hollow point bullet is special. As Hornady’s own FTX, it seats a polymer plug in its nose cavity. That keeps the cavity unobstructed as it pierces a barrier, which ensures it reaches the threat with its ability to trigger terminal expansion intact.
Worried about bright muzzle flash dimming your vision at night? That’s precisely what this ammo’s low-flash propellant is formulated to prevent. Always helpful to be able to see the thing you’re firing at, we say!
