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 - 230 Grain FNEB - Remington Subsonic - 50 Rounds

Do you have a 45 ACP handgun? Do you also have a suppressor? Then all you need now is the ammo. Remington and Advanced Armament Corporation codeveloped this ammo so you can maximize your suppressed handgun’s performance. The 45 ACP is already a subsonic cartridge, and Remington’s Subsonic label ammo certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel in that department. What this cartridge offers that’s special is its bullet: a flat nose enclosed base. No part of the bullet’s core is exposed to hot propellant gasses during ignition, so you can look forward to not having to scrub any lead residue off of your suppressor’s ports or baffles. This bullet’s flat nose profile won’t deliver terminal expansion. But if your objective is to avoid deafening yourself while you use your handgun during home defense, you’ll still find 230 grains of lead and copper suitable for the job. This bullet transfers more than 320 ft lbs of energy over any distance your home could possibly contain. Even if it hasn’t got a suppressor, your handgun should have zero difficulty cycling this brass-cased, non-corrosive and clean-burning American-made ammunition.
