45 ACP – 135 gr HoneyBadger Solid Copper – Black Hills (D45N820) – 500 Rounds

Some shooters prefer a defensive bullet that does not depend on hollow point expansion, which can be blocked by heavy clothing. This listing is Black Hills HoneyBadger 45 ACP 135 grain solid copper ammo, MPN D45N820, sold as 500 rounds for 1911 and 45 caliber pistol owners who want a lead free, barrier resistant defensive load in enough quantity to test and carry.

The HoneyBadger bullet is machined from solid copper with deep flutes cut into the nose. Instead of mushrooming, the flutes use the bullet’s velocity to push tissue outward, creating a wound channel without needing to expand. Because there is no cavity to plug, performance stays consistent through clothing and other barriers, and the bullet keeps its full weight. The light 135 grain weight makes for quick, manageable recoil in a 45. It is designed for self defense and is not a target or hunting round.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 45 ACP, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Wilson Combat, and Nighthawk, the Glock 21 and 30, SIG P220, HK45 and USP, Smith and Wesson M&P45, and Springfield XD-M. A common question is whether a lightweight 135 grain bullet changes point of impact. Lighter, faster bullets often print lower than 230 grain ball at typical pistol distances, so confirm your sights with this load. Another common question is whether a non-expanding solid copper bullet feeds well. Its shape is different from a round nose, so run several magazines through your pistol before carrying it.

Black Hills D45N820 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in Rapid City, South Dakota. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers. This listing contains 500 rounds from one lot, which gives you enough to verify function, practice with your defensive load, and keep matching rounds in your magazines.
