Buffalo Bore 45 GAP 230gr JHP Personal Defense Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Buffalo Bore 38C20 Personal Defense ammunition delivers maximum stopping power in the compact 45 GAP cartridge, engineered for reliable expansion and deep penetration. This premium defensive load features a 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for personal protection scenarios. Buffalo Bore's reputation for consistent performance makes this ammunition a trusted choice among law enforcement and civilian defenders.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 45 GAP loads that prioritize mild recoil over effectiveness, Buffalo Bore's Personal Defense line maximizes the cartridge's potential through careful powder selection and bullet design. The 230-grain JHP achieves optimal expansion while maintaining sufficient penetration depth. This ammunition consistently delivers velocities that exceed factory specifications, providing enhanced terminal performance compared to mainstream defensive loads.

Key Features

• 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullet for controlled expansion
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities ranging from 850-950 fps, depending on barrel length. The jacketed hollow point design maintains structural integrity through intermediate barriers while expanding predictably in soft tissue. This load performs consistently across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for year-round carry. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this ammunition for duty use in compact 45 GAP platforms.
