Overview of 45 ACP Ammo

The .45 ACP, developed by John Moses Browning in 1905, is a cornerstone of American ammunition known for its power and reliability. It offers excellent stopping power and accuracy, making it ideal for personal protection, law enforcement, and competitive shooting. Originally designed to meet the U.S. Cavalry's need for a more effective round, it became the official sidearm of the U.S. Armed Forces in 1911 with the M1911 pistol. Favored by units like the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team and LAPD SWAT, the .45 ACP's versatility and effectiveness continue to make it a trusted choice over a century later.

    It was a good deal. The ammo was very good.

  • ROLAND said:

    This is the second round type by Winchester I have shot. The 5.56 and this 45 FMJ 230 gr were horrible. After this 500, I am done with Winchester as a round. Yeah, they are cheap ....think about that...maybe that is why.

  • DARRYL said:

    The 45 Cal performed well. The price was not bad, but i wish it cost less.

    This ammo cycles great in my 1911- will definitely be buying more- also Glock 21 cycles it too

  • David said:

    Have not had any issues working great

  • Rob said:

    Value was not great. Over $.50/rnd after tax and shipping. Shot 200 of the 500 so far. Performance is flawless from the G21. Quality is very good and no complaints for its intended purpose, the range. I don’t expect any issues from Federal ammo. I will be buying more when these are gone.

  • Popup said:

    I recommend this for anyone to use

  • Alfred said:

    The ammo came quicker than I thought it would, ordered it on a Sunday and it was delivered to my front porch that Tuesday. I have nothing but good things to say about ammo.com and I have recommended the site to my coworkers.

  • Carl .45 said:

    Shoots well and the price - man!
