CCI .45 ACP 200 grain JHP still being made?

[Grunt]

I was digging through some of my older boxes of .45 ACP ammo and came across a box of CCI Blazer 200 grain JHP ammo with the old "flying ashtray" bullet. I remember when the flying ashtray first came out it was a pretty good defense round and I always did like the wide hollow point on the front. Never had a problem feeding through any of my handguns though I've heard that wasn't always the case. So does CCI/Speer still make the old 200 grain "flying ashtray" bullet anymore? I see that the CCI blazer line still lists a 200 grain JHP but is it the old design or the newer GDHP bullet loaded in them these days?

I think the Gold Dot is the only factory load for the 200 grain hollowpoint, but unless I am mistaken (it happens), the flying ashtray is available to the reloader.

I haven't bought a box in many years, but I think #3568 is the load in question with the "flying ashtray". It's still listed, but I guess you'd have to buy a box to be sure.
