Easy Knock Down (5/5) | Apr 7, 2006 | Bruce | AL US |
| Best ammo for personal defence. The bullet actually has more energy at less than about 30 feet than the 230gr. Typically that's within what I would consider the "self defense" knock down range. A pleasure to shoot, due to the high quality Federal powder/primer/bullet combo. Very much less recoil than the 230gr version, so very easy to quickly line up your next shot. So unless you are an enforcement officer, my opinion is this is the way to go. | ||||

Paramedic (5/5) | Dec 17, 2007 | Don Price | Jacksonville FL US |
| I am an E.M.T-P that has had to try to take care of a person that has been hit by the 45 ACP 165gr Hydra Shock ammunition. I have seen what it does to a person and that is the reason, I myself would have only that ammunition in my 1911 Springfield A-1 CAL 45 ACP for personal defense. When your life is in your gun and ammunition you and I need only the best. | ||||

Home Defence (5/5) | Jan 28, 2008 | James T. Hawkins | Washington D.C. |
| As a former U.S. Marine, the value of high penetration with maximum expansion was a no brainer for this special round. With the relatively light load of 165gr., you can come back on target quickly, if needed. Hopefully your first shot with this 45 acp ammunition is your last shot with this serious knock down energy. | ||||

Test Fired (4/5) | Jul 6, 2005 | Byron Hatmaker | Virginia Beach Vi US |
| I took the liberty of forming my own opinion of this 45 auto ammo by stacking a few wet phone books together and taking a shot from about 15 yards. The round showed great expansion, and damage to the target, without the kick that one expects from a 45 acp shot. I reccomend it for any one who whats a round that is easy to handle and quick to get back on target. | ||||
