Frequently Asked Questions

Is +P .45 ACP safe in any 1911 or .45 pistol? Not every .45 ACP pistol is rated for +P pressure; check your firearm manufacturer’s specifications before firing +P ammunition.

Why choose 230gr for .45 ACP? 230 grains is the classic, most common .45 ACP bullet weight, and the +P loading adds velocity on top of the caliber’s already substantial diameter and mass.
