20rds – 45 ACP Browning X-Point Defense 230gr. JHP Ammo Details

Browning – a name that’s synonymous with 45 ACP ammunition. If you’re looking for the right round for your .45 cal everyday carry, you’ve just found it: Browning’s own American-made X-Point Defense!

This cartridge’s 230 grain projectile achieves a 920 fps muzzle velocity without generating higher-than-standard chamber pressure. At that rate it reaches 25 yards with over 400 ft lbs of kinetic energy – at least 33% more than the minimum usually recommended for self-defense.

The bullet is Browning’s proprietary X-Point. The jacketed hollow point features an X-shaped barrier that keeps debris from clogging its nose cavity. Once the bullet has passed through a light barrier shielding the threat, its deep cavity and notched jacket combine to produce rapid positive expansion.

We always like to see self-defense ammo with nickel-plated brass cases. They’re easier to see in the chamber. They’re naturally resistant to corrosion. They also create less friction as they cycle through the firearm, which reduces the risk of a poorly timed failure to feed or extract.
