The PPU PPD45 Defense delivers reliable stopping power with 185-grain jacketed hollow point bullets engineered for personal protection scenarios. This Serbian-manufactured ammunition combines consistent performance with controlled expansion characteristics that make it suitable for both law enforcement and civilian defense applications.
What Makes This Different
Prvi Partizan's Defense line features precision-manufactured JHP bullets that expand reliably across a wide velocity range while maintaining jacket integrity. The 185-grain weight provides optimal momentum transfer in 45 ACP platforms while generating manageable recoil compared to heavier defensive loads. Each cartridge undergoes quality control testing to ensure consistent primer ignition and powder charges.
