Remington Ammunition 185 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Ammo Details

This is .45 ACP Remington Golden Saber 185gr. Hollow Point Ammo. The Golden Saber High Performance Jacketed Hollow Point handgun ammo showcases Remington's continuing advances in bullet technology. No other handgun cartridge offers so many high-performance features for home security and law enforcement applications. Some of these features include: A nickel plated case for smooth functioning in all types of handguns. An exclusive brass bullet jacket which controls mushrooming and releases energy over a longer distance, compared to copper jacketed bullets. The nose cuts of the bullet go completely through the bullet jacket to enhance mushroom initiation over the widest ranges of practical velocities. The reduced nose diameter greatly increases accurracy over a wide range of distances. The primer and case mouth is sealed for moisture protection and the primers are triple checked during the manufacturing process, to ensure the most reliable functioning handgun ammo manufactured. The powders are treated with flash retardants to greatly decrease the amount of muzzle flash. This is a premium personal protection and law enforcement round. This ammo is packed in 25rd. boxes.

THIS STUFF IS O.K. MAINLY BECAUSE OF ITS WEIGHT BUT THE 9MM IS JUNK! LIGHT WEIGHT, NOT BONDED ...IVE HEARD THAT LIKE SPEER GOLD DOT H.P. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN THEY ALWAYS OPEN... SPEER GOLD DOT PEELS AT LEAST THE REM SABER EXPANDS..

Great Round! Shoots clean and is very accurate. It feeds flawlessly through many different weapons including glocks, kimbers, hk's, and taurus. A GREAT DEAL at a great price. This 185 grain is great out of all my 3-4 inch barrels without any noticeable increase in recoil or flash.

More About 45 ACP Ammo

What is the Difference Between “.45,” “.45 Auto,” and “.45 ACP?”

There really is no difference for these terms, as they are largely used to describe the .45 ACP, which is the official name of the cartridge. When someone says “.45” in reference to ammunition, they are usually referring to the .45 ACP. The same goes for “.45 Auto,” as “ACP” stands for “Automatic Colt Pistol.” However, they may be referring to the .45 GAP, which stand for “Glock Automatic Pistol.” The GAP, however, is much less common than the ACP.

Are the .45 ACP and .45 GAP Interchangeable?

No. Unlike other cartridges (the .38 Special and .357 Magnum, for example), these two cartridges are not interchangeable at all. The .45 ACP was created by Colt’s Manufacturing Company for their line of pistols, while Glock created .45 GAP ammunition for their own products. These cartridges have different dimensions, most noticeably a vastly different overall length.

How Far Can a .45 ACP Effectively Shoot?

The .45 ACP is an effective handgun round for target shooting, but it is generally limited to about 50 yards of effective range, a fairly common maximum distance for handguns. For example, the Gold Medal rounds with 185-grain FMJ bullets (a light bullet for this cartridge), when zeroed to 25 yards, will drop 3.1 inches at 50 yards and almost two feet at 100. This makes using the .45 ACP at distances over 50 yards extremely difficult.

Is the .45 ACP Ideal for Self-Defense?

Yes. The .45 ACP can deliver effective speed and velocity for personal and home protection. The cartridge has muzzle velocities generally in the range of 800 to 1,100 feet per second, and can go even higher if you are firing +P ammunition. It also delivers muzzle energies approaching 500 foot-pounds, which drives effective penetration and expansion to the target. The only downside for .45 ACP is that it may be too large for some conceal-carry users and could have too much recoil for effective secondary shots. If you are using the .45 ACP for self defense, you will want expanding rounds such as jacketed hollow points.

Is the .45 ACP Better Than the 9mm Luger?

That depends on what you want from your cartridge. If you value sheer strength and stopping power above all, the .45 ACP is your best option. However, the 9mm Luger ammunition is a compact yet powerful cartridge that is ideal for many gun owners.

Which Firearms Commonly Load the .45 ACP?

While there are many weapons that can load the .45 ACP, the most famous is the 1911-style semi-automatic pistols. These firearms can be chambered for many different calibers, but the 1911/.45 ACP relationship is one of the most famous and successful gun/cartridge combinations in the world.
