40 SW – 165 gr TMJ – Speer Lawman (53955) – 1000 Rounds

Speer Lawman was created to give police departments a training round that behaves like their duty ammunition, and the 165 grain 40 S&W version mirrors common 165 grain defensive loads. This listing is Speer Lawman 40 S&W 165 grain Total Metal Jacket flat nose ammo, MPN 53955, sold as a 1,000 round case.

Speer rates this load at 1,150 fps with 484 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Total Metal Jacket design plates the entire bullet, including the base, so no lead is exposed. That reduces airborne lead at indoor ranges and leaves less fouling in the barrel. The flat nose feeds reliably and cuts clean holes in paper. Because the bullet is not built to expand, this is a practice and qualification load, not something to carry for self defense.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 40 S&W, such as the Glock 22, 23, and 27, the Smith and Wesson M&P40, the SIG P226 and P229 in 40, the Springfield XD, and the Beretta PX4, as well as carbines like the Beretta Cx4 Storm and Kel-Tec Sub2000 in 40. A common question is whether 40 S&W can be fired in a 10mm pistol. It is not recommended, because the shorter case headspaces poorly and can cause malfunctions. Another common question is how Lawman relates to Gold Dot. Many shooters train with Lawman at a similar weight and velocity to their carry load so recoil and sight tracking feel familiar.

Speer 53955 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Speer in Lewiston, Idaho. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and is non-corrosive. The case holds 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds. One lot across the whole case keeps training results comparable from month to month, and a 1,000 round supply covers regular qualification and practice for a long stretch.
