40 S&W - 180 gr JHP - Speer Gold Dot - Short Barrel - 20 Rounds

Speer's Gold Dot Short Barrel Personal Protection line of ammunition is specifically designed and tested to outperform in short barrels such as those used for concealed carry. This 40 S&W Gold Dot line of ammo was tested to perform well through the FBI tests with a short 3.5" barrel. This ammo is loaded with Gold Dot's bonded core line of bullets perfect for a backup gun for law enforcement personnel or a concealed weapon for a licensed citizen. Bonding the jacket to the core means the elimination of core-jacket separation and superior weight retention making it more effective than traditional hollow-point bullets in the event that the bullet encounters bone or heavy clothing upon entry. Speer's Gold Dot ammunition is a leader in the law enforcement community for its great performance in the FBI test protocols. It performs especially well in the compound glass angle test that bullets must undergo to pass the FBI's rigid screening requirements. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable nickel-plated brass cases.

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.
