Magtech First Defense ammunition is a great choice for home protection or concealed carry and comes at a reasonable price that lets you train with it as well. These .45 ACP cartridges for 1911s, SIG P220s, Glock 21s and other pistols chambered for this venerable caliber fire a jacketed hollow point bullet designed to expand for maximum stopping power against an assailant. The jacket is bonded to the core to ensure that the entire projectile stays together on impact and releases its energy efficiently.

Each cartridge fires a heavy 230 grain projectile at a muzzle velocity of 837 feet per second. Like most .45 Auto loads, it will produce considerable recoil that can be mastered through sufficient practice--something this case of 1,000 can provide!

Magtech ammunition is loaded in Ribeirao Pires, Brazil by CBC, a defense contractor that also owns the MEN and Sellier & Bellot brands. CBC produces its own non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases for optimal quality control and enhanced reliability.

Ballistics Test Summary

How does Magtech 230 Grain compare to other .45 ACP (Auto) self-defense loads? We conducted some tests with Clear Ballistics synthetic gelatin to find out. Following the FBI’s test protocol, we fired five rounds into the gel with a barrier of heavy clothing. We used a Kahr CW45 because the short barrel is similar to the type of compact handguns that are most likely to be carried concealed. Images of the fired bullets suspended in the gelatin are in the graphic above.

We measured the penetration depth of each bullet and then recovered them from the gel to measure the expanded diameter. You can find all of that data in the chart at the bottom of this page. Photos of the recovered bullets are below on the left and a slow motion video of the first bullet fired into the gel is down on the right.
