Most Helpful Positive Review Low recoil, major muzzle blast
I ordered two boxes (40 rounds total) to try in my Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander. I was looking for.45 ACP ammo that would be good for self-defense, but have less recoil than most typical self-defense ammunition, especially in a Lightweight Commander (28 oz.) 1911. At $1.69 per round I only shot 15 rounds of it (I wanted to save 25/40 for 3 8-round mags + 1 in the chamber), but the few rounds was enough to get good feedback. It has about 30-50% less recoil than most self-defense .45ACP ammo, but it does have significantly more muzzle blast than typical ammo. All this extra gas is a benefi...

Great F-in Ammo

by Sam, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on September 21, 2024
Running it in a Dan Wesson Specialist (post-break-in), 4.25'inch commander 1911 ran great and had zero issues. It is about twice as loud as normal 230-grain ammo and has about twice as big of a flash. I run an RMR on it, and usually, you lose the dot once fired with regular 230 grain, but with this stuff, it runs as flat as 9mm. You will need to turn up the brightness of your red dot because the muzzle flash will be brighter than whatever brightness you have the red dot currently set to, which is the only downside, but for a .45 round moving 1900, I think it a worthy trade-off especially if you just runs irons
Pros:
  • Lighter
  • Runs great
  • flat shooting
  • Little recoil
Cons:
  • Louder
  • bigger flash
Would recommend: Yes

.45 ACP Sizzler

by Bruce Parker, Verified Owner from MS, United States Written on November 17, 2023
This is my self defense ammo of choice for my FN FNX.45. With a 15+1 capacity, that can add a lot of weight with standard 230 grain loads. With this round, it is much lighter and thus more comfortable to carry, even with 2 spare magazinesfull of Liberty Civil Defence!
Pros:
  • Hugh velocity and terminal performance that is incomparable
Cons:
  • none!
Best Used for:
  • Home/Self Defence
Would recommend: Yes

by Bruce Parker, Verified Owner from MS, United States Written on November 10, 2023
This stuff Sizzles out of my FN FNX.45!No problems with it at all, and as a Bonus, 15 rounds of 78 grain vs 230 grain is a huge weight difference! Especially when packing 2 spare magazines full!

  • Home/Self Defence

  • None for me

Even Better for less $

by bearscorner85, Verified Owner from IN, United States Written on November 4, 2023
The reason for going 45ACP was the Liberty +P.
Takes the large bore to the next level.
From up close to 300yds & maybe twice
as nice for this closeout price.
Pros:
  • Best 45ACP by far
  • Best price ever.
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • less recoil & farther shots w/more power
Would recommend: Yes

Great ammo

by D, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on November 1, 2023
Extremely lightweight you can definitely tell the difference from a full mag of 10ths of 230gr to 10rds of 78gr. I carry it in my Glock 30sf and I have had no issues with it and packs a punch, I also have it in my Glock 19 great self defense ammo if you are looking to carry lighter and not have the heavy drag.
Pros:
  • Lightweight
  • Affordable
  • reliable
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Self and Home Defense
Would recommend: Yes
