Buffalo Bore’s Personal Defense Strictly Business line in .45 ACP+P (brand part no. 4518520) loads a 185-grain jacketed hollow point built for shooters who want a faster, lighter-for-caliber defensive round out of the classic .45 ACP platform. Buffalo Bore loads this +P round to significantly higher pressure than standard .45 ACP, trading some bullet weight for extra velocity while still delivering the reliable expansion a defensive hollow point needs. The round remains externally and dimensionally identical to standard .45 ACP, so it chambers and fires in any .45 ACP pistol in normal operating condition, though Buffalo Bore recommends a stiffer recoil spring for shooters running more than a box or two regularly. For .45 ACP owners who want a faster-moving defensive option, this handgun ammunition delivers it.
