Buffalo Bore Heavy Strictly Business .40 S&W +P ammunition (brand part no. 23A20) loads a 155-grain jacketed hollow point behind a flash-suppressed +P charge built for defensive shooters who understand how most gunfights actually happen. Buffalo Bore notes that the large majority of defensive shootings occur in low light, where a bright, unsuppressed muzzle flash can blind the shooter at the worst possible moment. This load’s powder is chosen to deliver high velocity at comparatively low pressure, keeping performance up without the flash penalty. In handgun ammunition for self-defense and duty carry, this is a .40 S&W built around the conditions a real defensive shooting happens in.
