Re: 45 ammo question

far as second question its a matter of preference and youll probably get a lot of different answers but i prefer either federal hydrashok 230 grain hollowpoints, or fmj hardball also 230 grain.

I like the Fed. Hydrashock as well (loaded in my carry gun), the Hornady TAP (red box) which is a +P, or Extreme Shock also might due well.
Just my 2 cents.

Winchester Ranger 230g SXT (Formerly known as Black Talons) have been working well for my Department for several years. I also use the 9mm version for off duty carry. No problems in either caliber with function in any of my weapons.

USGI .45 ACP is plenty powerful. It blows up Nazi tanks!

Re: 45 ammo question

There is no "rating" something for +P.

If you feel the need to shoot hotter ammo, including .45 Super, it can be done with a change in recoil springs.
