The Remington Golden Saber Defense Compact .45 ACP 230gr, 20 rounds per box (Remington part no. 27619), is a brass jacketed hollow point self-defense load rated by Remington at 725 fps at the muzzle. The Compact version is designed with the concealed carry permit holder in mind, delivering big-gun terminal performance out of shorter-barreled pistols and revolvers. Remington engineered the round to provide optimal penetration and expansion even through heavy clothing at lower velocities, and an exclusive brass jacket with precision nose cuts controls expansion and optimizes energy transfer. The case mouth and primer are waterproofed, the cases are nickel-plated, and specially treated powders suppress muzzle flash.
