The .45 ACP has a long-standing reputation for self-defense and duty use, known for its heavy bullet weight and consistent stopping power. With its subsonic velocity, it performs well with suppressors while maintaining reliable expansion in defensive loads. Many concealed carriers and law enforcement professionals trust .45 ACP for its proven track record in personal protection.

Ballistic Performance: A standard 230-grain jacketed hollow point (JHP) travels at approximately 900 feet per second (fps), delivering around 400 foot-pounds of energy. Full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds are widely used for training, while defensive loads are designed for controlled expansion and penetration.
