The Grizzly Ammo GC45A+P8 delivers enhanced stopping power through its high-pressure +P loading and proven 230-grain jacketed hollow point design. This premium defensive ammunition combines traditional .45 ACP reliability with increased velocity for superior terminal performance. Law enforcement agencies and concealed carriers rely on this cartridge's consistent expansion and deep penetration characteristics.
What Makes This Different
The +P designation indicates this ammunition generates approximately 10% more chamber pressure than standard .45 ACP loads, translating to higher muzzle velocity and energy transfer. While standard 230-grain .45 ACP rounds typically achieve 850 fps, this +P loading pushes velocities closer to 950 fps. The jacketed hollow point bullet features a controlled expansion cavity engineered to open reliably while maintaining weight retention for optimal penetration depth.
Key Features
- 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullet for maximum stopping power
- +P high-pressure loading increases velocity by 100+ fps over standard loads
- Brass cases suitable for reloading with proper +P components
- Compatible with all .45 ACP firearms rated for +P ammunition
- Consistent powder charges ensure shot-to-shot reliability
- Boxer-primed cases with non-corrosive primers
- 20-round boxes packaged in 10-box cases for bulk purchasing
This ammunition performs effectively in both full-size 1911 pistols and compact .45 ACP carry guns, though users should verify their firearm's +P rating before use. The heavier bullet weight maintains momentum through barriers while the hollow point design promotes rapid expansion in soft tissue. Testing demonstrates consistent accuracy at defensive distances with minimal muzzle flash, making it suitable for low-light scenarios.
