Cor-Bon Self-Defense .45 ACP +P 230-grain JHP ammunition (Cor-Bon part no. 45230) is a purpose-built carry load for shooters who want maximum performance from the .45 ACP platform. Cor-Bon has long specialized in high-velocity defensive ammunition, and this +P loading uses flash-suppressed powder paired with a skived jacket to drive fast, consistent expansion. Each bullet is scored to promote controlled fragmentation and high weight retention, limiting the risk of over-penetration. Primed and assembled fresh in the box, this load is built for concealed carry and home defense where terminal performance matters most.

Key Specifications
