The Buffalo Bore Ammunition 38C20 Personal Defense Strictly Business .45 GAP 230gr Jacketed Hollow Point is a 20-round box of full-power defensive handgun ammunition. Buffalo Bore rates this load at approximately 900 fps with 414 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, built to full power without exceeding standard +P pressures, so it is safe for use in any pistol chambered in .45 GAP. The load uses flash-suppressed powder so it will not blind the shooter in low-light defensive situations, and Buffalo Bore tests velocities from real-world firearms rather than theoretical pressure barrels. It is a strong option for .45 GAP pistol owners who want a genuinely full-power personal-defense load.
