Hollow Point

45 Long Colt hollow point ammunition is one of the most effective self-defense loads out there today. 45 Colt may have never been envisioned as a hollow point round, but it has certainly succeeded as one. The hollow cavity in a hollow point allows the round to expand and deform. This expansion and deformity creates a large wound channel throughout a soft target, creating more damage. More importantly when hollow point ammunition expands it rapidly loses speed and slows greatly inside a soft target. This works to prevent the round from over penetrating an attacker and striking someone else.
