That's awesome I guess...but why pay so much for HP ammo? HP ammo wasn't even invented when the 1911 was invented, all my weapons use ball ammo and I guarantee that it will kill a BG dead for cheaper than HP ammo.

Is your objective to kill or to stop the fight?

[Guest jackdm3]

Lawsuits cost more.

fwiw 50rds of 45acp WWB FMJ ammo at wally world will set you back $22-26.00 so at this price your essentially getting premium self defense ammo for the same price.

After your FMJ bullet passes clean through the BG you have worry what or who it is hiting and passing clean through.

I don't take JHPs to every range session, they are reserved for defensive use. Buying a box of JHPs every so often to rotate them out isn't going to break me.

Thanks Magic.

Just ordered me up a box of 45 and 9mm plus some slugs for the 12 gauge.

The 9mm Gold Dots are the same price as the .45 ACP !

Thanks for the heads up. I just bought some Golden Saber in 45 ACP.

Stop the fight.

Bigger holes = quicker stoppage.

Good price on those SGD's!

No expansion means you have to wait for him to bleed out, unless you are an extremely good shot under extreme stress. Quality JHPs produce a larger wound channel, resulting in more organ damage.

I would take a quality, 147 gr JHP 9mm over a FMJ .45 for SD any day of the week.

I want to stop the fight, not wait for him to bleed out and give him extra time to fight back.

Exactly, hence my posting what I did in response to your question.

.45 SGD's are fantastic rounds for stopping the fight! I'd take them any day of the week and twice on Sundays once I knew they worked reliably in my firearm.

It's why I have over 2k .40S&W SGD's in an ammo can.

My apologies; I misread your post.

Glad you guys liked the link, I got mine within 2 days of ordering...hopefully I might get some time to test them with the CW45 at ORSA tomorrow....well see....

[Rightwinger]

Got mine today as well, and that was with a one day delay for the Texas snow storm. Get to "unload" some Hornady TAP that have been in circulation for about a year and a half now.

I also got a good deal on some Federal Tru-ball slugs. Thanks again for posting Magic!

Thanks for the tip MCR! I was lucky enough to stumble into some WWB 45ACP hollow points and these end up being about the same price without having to drive anywhere. FWIW I tried 50 of the wally world JHPs through my almost broken in Springfield Mil-Spec and they functioned perfectly and were much more accurate than the FMJs. However, getting premium hollowpoints for wally world pricing is phenomenal!

[G27]

For the record, their SGD .40S&W's are a touch cheaper than the .45's right now...

[Rightwinger]

LOL, not if you don't own anything in .40 !

[coopracing]

Yea, I appreciate it also. I ordered a couple hundred rounds of the Gold Dot, and ended up ordering another hundred in the Federal Hydro Shok.

This will give me a chance to get some "cheaper", still not cheap, rounds through my 1911. I need to qualify it with some HP's.

Thanks again for sharing!
