45 ACP – 230 gr TMJ-FN – Speer Lawman (53658) – 1000 Rounds

Law enforcement agencies that issue the 45 ACP rely on Speer Lawman to qualify officers at indoor ranges, and the same ammunition serves civilian 1911 and polymer 45 owners well. This listing is Speer Lawman 45 ACP 230 grain Total Metal Jacket ammo, MPN 53658, sold as 1,000 rounds.

The Total Metal Jacket process plates copper over the entire bullet, including the base, so no lead is exposed to hot propellant gases. That reduces airborne lead at indoor ranges and keeps barrel fouling low. The 230 grain weight matches the standard 45 ACP ball load and most 230 grain defensive hollow points, which helps training transfer to carry. This is a training and qualification load. The bullet is not designed to expand, so keep a hollow point for self defense.

This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 45 ACP, also called 45 Auto, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield, Kimber, and Wilson Combat, the Glock 21 and 30, the SIG P220 and P227, the HK45 and USP45, the Smith and Wesson M&P45 and SW1911, and carbines like the KRISS Vector and Thompson. A common question is whether TMJ ammo is better than FMJ for indoor ranges. Many indoor ranges prefer or require fully jacketed bullets like TMJ because the covered base limits lead vapor. Another common question is whether 45 ACP +P is needed for practice. No. Standard pressure training loads are easier on the pistol and the shooter.

Speer 53658 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Speer in Lewiston, Idaho. The cases are brass and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 1,000 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain TMJ. A full case keeps you supplied for regular training, qualification, and classes from one lot, and the brass can be saved for reloading.
