The Wilson Combat LA45170CF delivers precision-engineered 45 ACP ammunition loaded with 170-grain projectiles for superior terminal performance and consistent accuracy. This premium defensive ammunition combines Wilson Combat's legendary quality control with carefully selected components to maximize stopping power while maintaining reliable cycling in all 45 ACP firearms.
What Makes This Different
Wilson Combat loads each cartridge to exacting specifications using premium brass cases and temperature-stable powders that deliver consistent velocities across varying conditions. The 170-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance between penetration depth and expansion characteristics, outperforming standard 230-grain loads in barrier penetration while maintaining superior accuracy. Each lot undergoes rigorous testing to ensure velocity consistency within 15 fps standard deviation.
Key Features
- 170-grain jacketed hollow point bullets optimized for defensive applications
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
- Low-flash powder formulation reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and enhance feeding reliability
- Velocity rated at 1,000 fps from 5-inch barrel for maximum terminal effectiveness
- Compatible with all 45 ACP firearms including 1911s, Glocks, and M&P pistols
- Factory-sealed primers prevent moisture contamination during storage
This ammunition excels in defensive scenarios where rapid incapacitation is critical, delivering consistent expansion through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers. Law enforcement agencies rely on similar loadings for duty carry due to the reduced over-penetration risk compared to heavier bullets. The reduced recoil impulse allows for faster follow-up shots while maintaining the knockdown power associated with the 45 ACP cartridge.
