40 S&W - 155 Grain JHP - Winchester Silvertip - 20 Rounds
When other people hear the phrase “silver bullet†they might think of werewolves or beer. But when shooters hear it, they think of Silvertip – one of Winchester’s most popular solutions for self-defense for over 30 years! This 40 S&W round’s sheeny bullet weighs 155 grains. At that mass it achieves a muzzle velocity of about 1,200 fps out of a handgun’s barrel, enabling it to plow into a target at close range with over 450 ft lbs of energy. (That’s a lot more than the bare minimum recommended for self-defense, hence the 40 S&W’s popularity among law enforcement officers who have to contend with heavily intoxicated threats.) But the Silvertip bullet isn’t a brute – it uses its energy wisely. This JHP bullet’s jacket is not only shaped to facilitate feeding in a semi-auto, but also to promote wide and rapid terminal expansion. The rim of its nose cavity also features long notches, each of which deliberately weakens the jacket to shape extremely uniform mushrooming. In short, this bullet makes a much bigger hole in its target than its original diameter alone could account for. A Silvertip round leaves little to chance with its outstanding brass case, non-corrosive primer, and propellant that is formulated to produce less of the residue which can impact a handgun’s functionality. Are you looking for good self-defense ammo for a 40 S&W handgun? Here you have it.
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.
