9mm - +P 115 Grain MonoFlex - Hornady Handgun Hunter - 25 Rounds

Don’t get hung up on the “Handgun Hunter” label. This 9mm +P ammo by Hornady is great for wasting varmints with an AR-15, no doubt about it, but you could do far worse and not much better for self-defense with a handgun as well! This overpressure round puts the multi-faceted performance of Hornady’s MonoFlex on full display. It is a monolithic bullet – or solid copper, in plain speak – so it’s legal for hunting in places where lead is banned by law. A copper bullet has several other virtues. It can’t worsen a firearm’s accuracy by clogging its barrel with lead residue. It’s also highly accurate for having such a uniformly dense body. The MonoFlex’s jacketless, all-copper construction greatly helps its terminal performance too. This is a rugged bullet, capable of losing almost none of its weight as it resists fragmenting apart while boring into flesh and bone. An intact bullet is a bullet with more momentum – more momentum, deeper penetration! The MonoFlex’s nose cavity is filled with malleable elastomer. This not only keeps it from congesting with fur or fabric on impact to preserve its ability to expand, but furthermore facilitates wide expansion as the elastomer forces itself downward into the bullet. Reliable terminal expansion like that is of as much utility for hunting as it is for personal protection. Hornady loads a mighty fine cartridge with high quality and dependable components. Do take note that this is a +P round, though. It is loaded to a higher pressure to deliver a flatter trajectory as well as more energy on impact. It will wear out a semi-automatic firearm’s moving parts faster. Most modern 9mm handguns can run 9mm +P ammo as well.

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.
