40 S&W - 180 Grain JHP - Underwood - 20 Rounds

Some of the greatest warriors in the world came from ancient Sparta. That’s why it’s only fitting that some of the greatest self-defense ammo should come from modern day Sparta, Illinois. This 40 S&W ammo by Underwood turns a handgun from an inert chunk of steel into a highly effective means of keeping yourself in one piece. (Maybe King Xerxes isn’t a threat anymore, but the world’s still a dangerous place.) With its 180 grain bullet and 1,100 fps muzzle velocity, this round delivers far more than the recommended minimum energy for self-defense and resultant stopping power at short range. Nosler’s jacketed hollow point bullet is accurate too, so you can count on longer range performance if the tactical situation merits. The bullet’s jacket profile not only extends to the rim to smooth out feeding in a semi-auto, but also facilitates fast and shocking terminal expansion to put a threat down before they get the chance to do the same to you! Underwood loads a select brass case with a non-corrosive Boxer primer, making this ammo a swell choice for handloading enthusiasts. As a bonus their propellant is formulated to limit muzzle flash, which’ll keep your sight intact for rapid, accurate follow-up shots when you’re in the dark.

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
