Speer - Total Metal Jacket - 230 Grain 45 ACP Ammo - 50 Rounds

If you were training with a sword, you would take great care not to cut yourself. So why tolerate inhaling toxic lead gas while you’re training with something even better than a sword – namely a 45 ACP pistol?

Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition offers a healthier way to master a 1911 or any other .45 cal firearm. This cartridge’s 230 grain bullet weight and 830 fps muzzle velocity out of a 5” barrel are both perfectly normal for its class. But because it is loaded with a total metal jacket – a non-expanding target bullet with a lead core that is completely encapsulated by its jacket – the cartridge will not produce lead gas during ignition. It’s a particularly wise choice for training if you happen to train indoors, and it’s due to conserve your firearm’s accuracy by keeping its rifling cleaner as well.

This ammo’s bullets may not offer the terminal ballistics you would want for defensive applications, although every other facet of its performance is extremely similar to those of an analogous self-defense load. Highly instructive for practice. And thanks to Speer’s reloadable brass cases, you don’t have to be done with this ammo after the first time you’ve fired it.
