45 ACP BROWNING X-POINT DEFENSE 230 GRAIN JHP (20 ROUNDS)

Save the chintzy 45 ACP ammo for plinking. When you want your handgun to be able to serve its most important purpose – i.e. protecting your hide – you’ll be glad to have a Browning X-Point Defense round in its chamber.

This cartridge’s bullet is the X-Point jacketed hollow point. You’ll immediately notice the sunken cross inside the X-Point’s nose cavity, which helps the bullet pass through intermediate barriers without filling up with debris like denim or leather. The silver-colored JHP undergoes swift terminal expansion as its notched jacket splits apart, thus maximizing energy transfer and wound channel diameter within the threat.

Browning loads this round in the USA with a reliable primer and clean-burning powder. Together they propel the 230 grain JHP to a muzzle velocity of 920 fps, which translates to more than sufficient kinetic energy for self-defense at close range. Its black nickel-plated cases are an especially welcome feature, as they protect against corrosion and minimize friction during cycling to doubly promote dependable functionality in a semi-automatic.
