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.

  • Charlie said:

    Speaking specifically of 45 ball ammo. Years ago I once had a AD inside my house. I was amazed at the performance. It went thru 3 walls, changed direction 3x due to hitting wall studs before finally stopping against the inside brick cavity at the exterior of the house. I recovered the bullet and it had only minor deformation. Since then I keep and extra mag of Ball just in case.

  • DHENRY said:

    S&B provides a dependable, clean-burning 45acp product. No misfires, duds or squibs. An excellent dollar-value.

  • Peter said:

    Great performance for the price. A good value.

  • Rick said:

    Good Rounds and at a "comparatively" reasonable price to other suppliers gauging prices to take full advantage of a Government incited panic.

  • malibu66 said:

  • Daniel said:

    These were the first rounds I put through my new 1911 . 200 rounds on the first day , no mis feeds or odd ejection. Everything went as well as could be expected.

  • Doug said:

    I am VERY picky about the ammo I buy. I'm looking for foot pounds of energy. As I understand it, Federal loads their American Eagle to the same specs as their self defense ammo. That's why I buy it.

  • boo said:

    Bullets is good for ammo price.

  • 4545 said:
