Federal Personal Defense Punch Ammunition 380 ACP 85 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point 20RD$18.96
Availability: In Stock
Federal Personal Defense Punch 45 ACP ammunition pairs proven defensive engineering with the stopping power shooters expect from a full-size handgun round. This 230-grain jacketed hollow-point load is purpose-built for personal protection, drawing on Federal's decades of experience designing reliable duty and defensive loads for law enforcement and civilian carriers alike. Each box contains 20 rounds loaded with nickel-plated brass cases and sealed primers—details that matter when your self-defense ammo needs to feed flawlessly and fire reliably every single time.
The Punch round uses a skived jacket and soft lead core designed to deliver both controlled expansion and adequate penetration through common barriers. That balance is crucial: you want the bullet to open up and transfer energy, but not so aggressively that it over-expands and loses the penetration needed for consistent performance. Federal engineered this load to outperform comparably priced competitor rounds, giving you legitimate defensive capability without breaking the bank on practice and carry ammo.
If you're carrying a 1911, a modern polymer-frame 45, or any other .45 ACP platform, Federal Punch offers a straightforward, no-nonsense defensive choice. The nickel-plated brass not only looks sharp in the magazine—it's more corrosion-resistant than standard brass, a small but real advantage if your carry ammo sits loaded for months at a time. This is ammo built to protect, built to shoot, and built by a manufacturer whose name means something in the defensive-shooting world.
