45 ACP Ammo

.45 ACP ammunition is the most well-known of John Browning's series of pistol cartridge designs, and for good reason. Used in a variety of iconic firearms including the M1911, Thompson SMG, and Glock 21, this cartridge delivers strong performance for self-defense purposes. Its recoil, though stout, is typically described as a heavy "push" than a "snap." These days, you'll find reliable training and defensive rounds for sale from the top manufacturers in the ammo world, like PMC, Federal, Winchester and more.

The classic "ball" .45 ACP load fires a 230 grain full metal jacket bullet at around 850 feet per second; jacketed hollow points (JHPs) often feature a lighter 185 grain bullet fired at velocities approaching 1,000 feet per second. This produces better expansion while still making full use of the .45's high caliber.

Handguns chambered in .45 ACP are popular for suppressed use as the .45 is inherently subsonic; even more powerful loads will not produce the sonic "crack" that high-velocity cartridges typically do.

    One of the reasons I buy from Wideners is that they carry proven, trusted brands. S & B makes good hardball for training, or reliable carry in smaller autos like a Star PD.

    Winchester "white box" ammo is an unbeatable value for the range due to its reliable performance and low cost. These .45 ACP cartridges use a conventional load for this caliber that fires a heavy bullet at a relatively low muzzle velocity.

    Each round in this box of 50 propels a 230 grain full metal jacket projectile to a velocity of 835 feet per second. This is a standard pressure load that will work well in compact carry handguns without producing excessive felt recoil or wear and tear.

    This ammo is loaded in the USA and uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

    You can't go wrong with Speer Lawman ammunition for your training needs. This .45 ACP ammo works well in a wide variety of handguns, but excels in particular for those who (like many law enforcement officers) carry Speer Gold Dot ammo in their sidearms. Lawman cartridges are designed to produce the same external ballistics and recoil impulse as their more expensive Gold Dot counterparts, allowing a shooter to conduct more realistic self defense practice at a reasonable cost.

    Each cartridge in this box of 50 fires a heavy 230 grain total metal jacket bullet at a muzzle velocity of 830 feet per second. The TMJ projectile is ideal for indoor shooting as its encapulated base significantly reduces the risk of lead exposure. Note that TMJs may not be suitable for firearms with ported barrels due to shearing issues.

    Speer ammo is loaded in Lewiston, Idaho using non corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

    It’s a great big crazy world out there, filled to the brim with beauty and horror. We hope you only encounter the former. But if you ever face the latter, then we hope you find yourself holding a forty-five loaded with Blazer Brass.

    Blazer could have done a lot to make this ammo fancier. It’s kind of funny that it’s named after its signature feature: brass cases, which the vast majority of ammunition has. But they are well-made cases, and they are loaded with intensely reliable Boxer primers and clean-burning powder. That and Blazer’s excellent craftsmanship are all good advantages to have if you ever find yourself shooting for all the marbles.

    This is a standard velocity cartridge: 230 grain bullet and 850 fps muzzle velocity out of a 5” barrel, just like Mr. Browning intended. Don’t anticipate abnormal recoil when you send the jacketed hollow point on its merry way. Do expect the terminal ballistics which capably neutralize a threat, however, because Blazer’s JHP is just as accurate as it is designed for expansion.

Each round of 45 ACP in this box features Winchester’s most accurate FMJ bullet alongside a match grade primer, and also comes from the same exact lot as its 49 brothers and sisters. Once you’ve received your box of ammo, you can even go to winchester.com/usareadyinfo to look up its specific ballistic data.

    This round’s bullet weighs in at the standard 230 grains, and is loaded to a peppy 880 fps muzzle velocity for the ever-so-slightly flatter trajectory which lends itself so well to tight groupings. The bullet’s flat nose enhances optimal feeding in a magazine-fed firearm, and its low-drag profile helps to preserve superior downrange velocities.

    This ammo’s brass cases have been drawn and cut according to precise tolerances, and have concentric walls which contain highly standardized charges of clean-burning propellant. Whether you’re actually competing or just want to gauge what you and your pistol are capable of pulling off together, this is your American-made 45 ammo.

These .45 ACP Hi-Shok rounds are assembled using non-corrosive Boxer primers fitted into reloadable brass casings and topped by 230 grain jacketed hollow-point projectiles. 230 grains is the ideal weight for the caliber and is recommended by expert shooters for the best ballistics and cycling, especially with full size 1911 handguns.

    The Hi-Shok JHP bullet design is shaped for optimum interface with any style of feed ramp and possesses a very wide cavity surrounded by light serrations. These features guarantee wide, threat-dropping expansion on impact even at lower velocities from short-barreled pocket pistols. In addition, Hi-Shok cartridges have a cannelure midway down the casing which prevents bullet setback caused by repeat chambering; this increases the longevity of your carry ammo as you unload your pistol for practice sessions.

    Widener's also carries a wide range of .45 ACP practice ammunition as well as these very same Hi-Shok rounds in bulk for all of your CCW concerns.

    Fiocchi is an Italian manufacturer with over a century of experience alongside a reputation for crafting ammo for law enforcement agencies and competitive shooting teams both in the United States and all over Europe. The majority of their American-sold ammo is made in the U.S. as well, allowing them to tailor the ammo with direct feedback and utilize classic Western components for dependable performance. In this .45 ACP loads, parts include non-corrosive Boxer primers fitted to reloadable brass casings that carry clean-burning powder.

    As a self-defense cartridge, the round is topped a JHP (jacketed hollow point) projectile which features a deep cavity and precisely skived copper jacket for reliable expansion as well as a gently sloping ogive for smooth feeding in semi-automatic handguns and carbines. A projectile weight of 230 grains matches the majority of trusted .45 Auto configurations and familiar cycling characteristics alongside subsonic muzzle velocity for suppressed home-defense pistols. Upon impact with a threat, the heavyweight projectile will experience an expansive increase in diameter, causing it to throw more energy into the target and create a more effective wound cavity while losing its potential for lethal over-penetration.

    Due to the +P load, this ammo produces more severe recoil than standard pressure .45 Auto; this effect is more pronounced in compact firearms.

    Federal HST cartridges are loaded in Anoka, Minnesota and use nickel-plated brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers.

    Bullet design and weight are important to me when selecting a load for carry in my 1911, or my SIG P 227. Especially since I don't favor +P loadings to get the job done. Wideners has a good price on these too.

    Federal's HST (unofficially called Hi-Shok 2) cartridges represent today's peak in defensive handgun ammunition. These rounds utilize a jacketed hollow-point (JHP) projectile weighing in at 230 grains for ideal ballistics and reliability with the widest range of .45 ACP handguns.

    HST JHP bullets have a deep cavity with a wide brim surrounded externally by precisely placed bi-cut serrations and internally by tiny tabs of the brass jacket. This intricate design results in massive, flowering expansion which reduces the risk of collateral damage caused by a "shoot-through" while increasing the round's threat-stopping ability. In addition, the projectiles possess a very deep cannelure to which they are crimped that prevents jacket separation from the lead core on impact and preserves penetrating power.

    Federal Premium HST ammo is constructed using non-corrosive Boxer primers fitted into reloadable brass casings which are nickel-plated for smooth feeding and extraction, even when a pistol is dirty from an extended range session. The casings also have light crimping at the base of the bullet position which prevents setback caused by repeat chambering. The powder mixture in these rounds burns very cleanly with minimal muzzle flash which enables more effective follow-up shots.

    You don’t need to work for law enforcement to order law enforcement ammo! And that’s just great, because this 45 ACP +P cartridge from Speer’s LE Gold Dot G2 label is one of the finest you could chamber in your carry weapon.

    This is an overpressure round, loaded to launch its 230 grain bullet out of a 5” barrel at a velocity of 950 fps. That’s around 14 percent faster than the standard pressure 45 ACP load, which means your shots will benefit from both a flatter trajectory and more commanding power downrange. Please make sure your handgun can handle 45 ACP +P before you ask it to fire this powerful ammo.

    The G2 bullet certainly puts so much energy to proper use. Its nose cavity is actually filled with flexible elastomer, and as the G2 penetrates soft tissue that material works its way down into the underlying fissures within the core. This causes rapid and highly uniform terminal expansion, reliably transferring well over 350 ft lbs of energy into a target even at 100 yards – significantly greater than the minimum energy recommended for self-defense.

    The G2 bullet also wears an electrochemically bonded jacket. It is not only evenly distributed to grant the bullet exemplary in-flight stability, but also exceptionally rugged. The G2’s core and jacket remain tightly rooted together, and retain 100 percent of their combined weight even if they must penetrate sheet metal together!

    This round’s smooth bullet profile and low friction nickel plated case both promote reliable feeding in a semi-auto. Speer topped it all off with a sensitive primer and clean burning propellant, giving you a solution for self-defense that you can truly count on!

    Federal Gold Medal ammunition is a dependable companion for competitive shooters thanks to its consistently high production quality. This .45 ACP version is an ideal target load due to its easy handling and semi-wadcutter bullets.

    Each cartridge in this box of 50 fires a light 185 grain jacketed semi-wadcutter bullet at a low muzzle velocity of 770 feet per second. These specs result in a very light-shooting round that is easy to fire quickly and accurately at close range--with essentially no downside, since competitive shooters don't care about terminal ballistics.

    This ammo is loaded in Anoka, Minnesota using non-corrosive primers and reloadable brass cases.

    Customer Reviews

    Works well

    There are many reviews on the net that this stuff jams. Reading carefully, it seems these reviews are with Glock pistols. I'm shooting a Gold Cup and as such, was provided with 2 springs, a 32 coil spring and a 28 coil spring. Because these are a mid-range load and they have less recoil than 230 gr. hardball, I installed the lighter spring. I've had no problems with function. Maybe if the Glock pistols could use a lighter spring, these would function well for the Glock as well.
