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.

Atrocious performance in three different .45s: FNX-45, Glock 21, and 1911. Underpowered because it kept causing failure to eject and failure to load issues. Swapped this garbage out of the magazines with federal and all three were running smoothly. Avoid this brand

Thanks for the quick service. This ammo ran flawlessly thru my 1911 gold cup and my grandson's glock. We both fired over 600 rounds each during the handgun course we attended.

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

Haven’t shot a lot of this ammo however, what I have had no problems, no jams. Afterwards during the cleaning process not a lot of fouling in the weapon. I am pleased with this purchase.

I was a little hesitant at first, but Ammo.com delivered as advertised. I expected a little higher price due to the ammunition shortage and found that other dealers are pricier. I will be a future customer.

These are difficult times with regards to getting ammo of just about any kind. This was a bit pricy, but not too bad and shipping was as expected and the quality was fine, but have not shot a lot as want to make sure to have some on hand.

185 Grain MC Ammunition,, Is a nice light load and fun to shoot,, Yes you can get FMJ 230 grain bullets for less money but once you shoot the 185gr or the 165gr the recoil is much less intimidated and can hold on target should you need Or want a follow up shot
