45 ACP

45 ACP ammo (aka 45 Auto) is the most American pistol cartridge ever to exist! This is the standard round for the Colt M1911, although several other pistols have been designed around John Browning’s great feat of .45 cal magnificence. Choose a bulk 230 grain full metal jacket (FMJ) ammo for target practice, or a jacketed hollow point (JHP) if you need 45 ACP for self-defense. Bullets weighing 165 or 185 grains are both practical if you’re looking for lower-recoil performance. You'll see our in-stock 45 ACP ammo for sale below.
