Buffalo Bore Ammunition 45 ACP +P 185 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point

Buffalo Bore Ammunition's 45 ACP +P 185 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point delivers serious stopping power for shooters who demand more from their defensive rounds. Built on the proven .45 ACP platform and loaded to +P pressure levels, this ammunition bridges the gap between the inherent reliability of the 1911 and modern terminal performance—ideal for home defense, concealed carry, and duty use where a hard-hitting, consistent round matters.

The 185-grain jacketed hollow point projectile is engineered to expand reliably across the typical defensive engagement distances, helping ensure that your shot placement translates to the terminal performance you're counting on. Buffalo Bore's reputation for quality control and consistent velocities makes this a smart choice for shooters who train regularly and want ammunition they can trust when it counts. Whether you're running a classic steel-frame 1911, a modern polymer .45, or anything in between, this round delivers the performance enthusiasts expect from a premium defensive load.

Packaged in convenient 20-round boxes, Buffalo Bore 45 ACP +P ammunition is built for serious shooters—not range plinking, but the kind of ammunition you'll want on hand for your carry gun or home defense setup. If you're already invested in the .45 ACP platform and looking to step up your defensive capability, this is ammunition worth running through your gun during both practice and qualification.

How does the 185-grain bullet compare to other .45 ACP loads?

The 185-grain projectile is on the lighter end of .45 ACP bullet weights and is paired with a jacketed hollow point design intended to provide reliable expansion.
