mag tech first defense ammo

[TexasPatriot.308]

my gun dealer sold me on a box of Mag Tech first defense ammo, .45 acp 165 gr. copper jacket, I am old school, prefer 230 gr. JHP for a stopper. anyone shot these? have opinon, only Mag Tech shot is cowboy ammo so just curious, ammo looks good like a Talon but somehow I feel bigger is better...

your point of impact will differ from the 230 gr

magtec is budget dirty ammo kind equal to remington in my opinion

get 230 gr gold dots or hydrashocks

Been better off with the Corbon 160 DPX or the 185DPX+P Mag Tech is a poor copy.
Seems since ammo shortage dealers just buy anything and tell you this will work fine. Even my dealer starting to do that.

I think that people overthink stuff.

I don't like +P ammo. If you want a given bullet weight to go faster than the original design, use a different cartridge. I THINK, that smaller .45 bullets are for compact .45s, to try to get back the velocity you lose with the shorter barrels. I think that things that go wrong with 1911s mostly happen when people mess with the design.

I only use 230 gr bullets and full-size 1911s. I have used cast, hard-ball, etc, and I carry 230 gr HSTs, but always 230 gr. I know that they work like they are supposed to.
