45 ACP Ammo For Sale
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.

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.

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.

Romeo3 said:
excellent price, service and quick delivery. Just what we all want in a provider. Best part is the price. Next is the fact that you only show what you have in stock, big plus in my book and next is the lightning fast hand off to the UPS guy. I have over 200 rounds already thru my new SR1911 and gun and ammo performed flawlesly, I Shall Return, (remember him).

Rick said:
Purchased 50 rounds, but have only shot 18 so far. I've had no problems at all. Shoots nice and clean, and no duds. I love the federal ammo so far. My only knock was on the value....which I dropped down 1 notch. The price for the 50 round box is awesome, but the shipping and handling hurt the value...still when you can't find the ammo you are looking for locally, the shipping and handling isn't much of an issue. Thank You Ammo.com!!!!

Clean firing, no malfunctions. Ammo used to "break in" a new weapon. Accomplished that mission very well, as expected from prior use of CCI ammo.

Fired said:
3 rounds out of 4 full clips jammed due to casing not being flush at the bullet on my Ruger P90DC. Overall, not bad for the money as a target round.

I spoke with Chris yesterday (28-November) I needed clarification on the rebate process from Winchester. He walked me through the process step by step, shared his own experience relating to the process. It's always reassuring when someone shares from a personal point of view, not just what's written, gave me some insight on timeframes, also advice, go to tje site first so i would know what was needed, a great help to because I'm buying from Ammo.com of course and there are time frames, so that was very helpful as well.. Chirs was patient, knowledge and insightful about all aspects of his product. Normally (as with most) I feel if I dont ask i wont get the full story, Chris always deep dives and goes further giving all needed for me to feel comfortable in my decision. I might add you aren't going to find better pricing, along with carry laws state by state, uodated daily, real time. Service, Pricing, Quality: thats a Hat Trick everyone can live with... thank you Ammo.com for having ambassadors such as Chris representing you....

Ive called Ammo, a ton of times with shall we say less than smart or good questions, they are always professional, knowledgeable most of all patient, we are only two years into the sport.

Light recoil, big fireball. High penetration.

Blorg said:
Cycles well in a Kimber 45.

Lou said:
The bullet design seems like a good concept, the ballistic gel tests that I've seen regarding the Honey Badger design were impressive. The concern: The very first round I tried to feed into my Dan Wesson 1911 jammed solid on the feed ramp. Subsequent tries had the same result and the cartridge suffered ~1mm of bullet setback. That particular cartridge didn't appear any different than the others. I cycled other rounds from the same box several times without issue or bullet setback. Maybe the first round I tried was defective. The next time I go to the range I'll try them out.

Chuck said:
I have used and carried, due to the recorded performance in ballistic gel and the recorded results of various barrier penetrations. I definitely have no problem using as my EDC ammo on a daily basis

4 Inch Grouping at 100 yds said:
This ammo is smoking hot. Really fast. My groupings were better than with standard 230 gr. ammo. Gets the job done.
-
Ohio1 said:
Tryed the penetration test...the rounds mushroomed perfectly! They are very accurate also! These are going to be used for self defense!
-
Joe said:
I have used Barnes bullets as a reload as well as factory since they came out onto the market. They are very accurate while maintaining their entire mass throughout the wound channel. If you are betting your life on a bullet make it a Barnes TAC-XPD 185 Gr. Confidence and excellent terminal stats.
