40 S&W - 180 Grain JHP - Browning X-Point Defense - 20 Rounds

If you could predict the future, then you probably wouldn’t have to bother carrying a 40 S&W handgun for personal protection. You could just go wherever you know the danger isn’t going to be. But crystal balls do not work, and if astrology could predict anything then suddenly the Wall Street fat cats would start paying very close attention to Mercury and Venus. Fortunately you can predict exactly how your self-defense ammo is going to perform when you choose Browning X-Point Defense. This round’s 180 grain X-Point JHP is designed for supremely reliable terminal performance. Its protected hollow point resists becoming obstructed with debris in order to preserve its ability to expand, and the eight notches radiating from the rim enable the jacket to split apart into highly uniform sections. So well engineered a bullet consistently dumps crippling energy within its target. This 40 S&W ammo’s brass cases are extra shiny because they are nickel-plated. That’s not a cosmetic feature. The nickel resists corrosion better than brass it overlays, and the low-friction metal also enhances a semi-automatic firearm’s ability to feed and extract without fail.

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
