Red Army Standard isn’t some decades-old army surplus that the Russians have had stashed away in a locker somewhere. This is Russia’s new production 45 ACP ammo, imported by Century International Arms of Florida and ready for target shooting action!

As Russian ammunition, this 45 Auto has steel in two important places: its bullet and its case. The bullet offers pretty standard ballistic performance as it weighs 230 grains and is loaded to a muzzle velocity of 850 fps. It has what is known as a bimetal jacket, which is mostly made of steel with a thin exterior layer of copper. Be certain that such a bullet will attract a magnet.

This round’s steel case makes its price point even lower, although it also makes it non-reloadable. (Steel cases also have a tendency of letting more fouling enter a pistol’s action.) This ammo’s steel cases are polymer-coated to reduce friction during feeding and extraction, and their Berdan primers are just as non-corrosive as any brass-cased American round’s. A budget-friendly alternative courtesy of our friends Dimitri and Viktor!

Q: Thanks for the quick reply. If I may ask another question - will shooting this ammo lead to swearing in Russian? (Either by osmosis or by having exhausted all AMERICAN swear words first).

Posted On: 12/21/2021 By: John

A: You might utter a curse or two as you find yourself unable to attend indoor ranges which ban magnetic ammo, or if you attempt to reload steel cases. But because this ammo is 45 ACP, which is on par with mom and apple pie as far as being American is concerned, I don't think it will turn you into some foul-mouthed gopnik so easily.

Q: Are Russkies making this ammo?

Posted On: 12/20/2021 By: John

A: Da. This particular 9mm was made for the Red Army Standard brand by TulAmmo.

Q: Is this corrosive ammo?

Posted On: 11/15/2021 By: Jim

A: No sir. You do want to be cautious about old Soviet military surplus, but this is modern production ammo with 100% noncorrosive Berdan primers.
