9mm Makarov - 93 Grain FMJ - Mesko - 1000 Rounds

This is not 9mm ammunition. It’s 9mm Makarov, which will only function in firearms like the P-64, P-83 or Makarov PM. If you’re shopping for ammo for your 9mm Glock, Taurus, S&W or Beretta, then this definitely isn’t what you want! Mesko’s primary job is ensuring that the Polish Armed Forces has enough rockets and small arms ammunition to do their job, which is making certain Poland continues to exist. That is a good cause. We regret that we can’t ship you Mesko’s high-quality rockets, but we can ship you a case of their 9mm Makarov ammunition! Poland might load cartridges that originated in Russia, but they don’t practice the same exact manufacturing techniques. That’s why this 9mm Makarov round’s bullet is totally steel-free – just a brass jacket and lead-antimony core, neither part of which will attract a magnet. Mesko also loads brass cases, which are much better than steel cases when it comes to locking fouling out of the chamber. But take care: These non-corrosive cartridges have Berdan primers, thus making them an extremely poor choice for handloading.

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.
