    .45 ACP defensive round?

    New to the 45, wondering if there is a defensive round you guys or girls trust? Running through a Glock 30.

    Thx all

      Same here with 230 gr +P reloads.

              Winchester 100 rd value packs 230 gr FMJ ball

              buying expensive defense ammo for a .45 is like buying those special Gun lubes "snake oil" buy our special hi tech lube, dont use Mobil 1 syntec even though it works as good and costs much less, a quart is a lifetime supply.

                I love SG Ammo. A plain old 230gr ball works, after all its .45. But the newer HP stuff is really superior.

                        is it safe to use in a M1911A1 GI .45?

                          Winchester Rangers. The only round that bloodies you up testing them.
