38 Special - +P 120 Grain JHP - Federal Punch - 20 Rounds
Federal Punch. It’s not a delicious beverage that congressmen enjoy before they all vote to spend $80 million dollars worth of taxpayer money on Mongolian llama ranching programs. It’s dependable American-made ammo to keep loaded in your cylinder for self-defense. This is 38 Special +P ammunition, designed to inflict a greater amount of damage for neutralizing a threat. The “+P†means its chamber pressure is higher to boost its bullet’s muzzle energy. Newer 38 Special revolvers can handle that added chamber pressure no problem, but please do ask us if you’re uncertain about your particular handgun. The Punch bullet is a 120 grain jacketed hollow point, which is similarly specialized for self-defense. The bullet’s jacket facilitates deeper penetration, and it also wears symmetrical skives that control the rapid expansion created by the lead core’s deep nose cavity. It’s by far the most common type of bullet for self-defense simply because it works so well. These cartridges’ brass cases are nickel-plated. The shiny metal enhances the rounds’ ability to resist corrosion and makes them smoother for easier loading and extraction. Federal’s nonmagnetic and noncorrosive ammo is made in Minnesota where ice fishing is taught in public schools.
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.
