The Cor-Bon Self Defense .45 ACP+P 165-grain JHP (Cor-Bon part no. 45165) is Cor-Bon’s original .45 ACP+P hollow point load, one of the company’s earliest dedicated defensive-ammunition offerings. Loaded to +P pressure, it drives a 165-grain jacketed hollow point with internal and external jacket serrations and a soft lead cavity engineered for controlled, reliable expansion. Independent gelatin testing shows this load penetrating roughly 9 to 15 inches, landing squarely in the range defensive shooters look for. It’s built for concealed carry and home-defense .45 ACP pistols rated for +P pressures.
