9mm Makarov - 93 Grain FMJ - Mesko - 50 Rounds

This is not 9mm ammo. 9mm Makarov will not work in Glocks, SIGs, S&Ws, Rugers, or any other firearms that are chambered for the cartridge we Americans commonly call “9mm.” What do you call a company that makes ammunition for the Polish army? You call it Mesko, an ISO certified manufacturer which has been in business since 1924. (What, did you think we’d actually make a joke about ammo?) This 9mm Makarov cartridge isn’t like what you’d get from a Russian manufacturer. Its 93 grain FMJ projectile is made of copper alloy and lead. It contains no steel that would have gotten it banned from ranges that frown on magnetic ammo. These new production cartridges are also outfitted with factory-fresh brass cases, so they’ll feed and extract a little smoother and fire a little cleaner as well. But this non-corrosive ammo is also Berdan-primed, so the Boxers you use to handload won’t do its cases any favors!

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.
