    .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.

              I use Federal HST as my defensive round in 9mm, .40 s&w, and .45 acp.

                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?
