CORBON - 45 ACP +P - 230 GR - JHP - 20 RDS/BOX
CorBon's 45 ACP +P 230 Grain JHP is the legendary hollow point load that established CorBon as a premier name in self-defense ammunition, delivering consistent expansion and reliable stopping power in every round.
- 230-grain jacketed hollow point optimized for maximum terminal performance
- +P rated for higher velocity — approximately 950 fps from standard pistols
- Internal and external serrations promote uniform, controlled bullet expansion
- Soft lead cavity initiates reliable expansion across a wide range of targets
- Average penetration of 9–15 inches in FBI-standard ballistic gelatin testing
- Packaged in a convenient 20-round box, ideal for carry loads and range evaluation
Who This Is For
This load is purpose-built for concealed carriers, home defenders, and law enforcement professionals who trust the .45 ACP platform and demand proven, real-world performance from their self-defense ammunition. It's an excellent choice for shooters with full-size or compact 1911s, GLOCK 21s, Springfield XD pistols, or any .45 ACP handgun rated for +P pressure loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my .45 ACP pistol rated to handle +P ammunition?
Not all .45 ACP firearms are rated for +P pressure loads. Before using CorBon's +P JHP, consult your pistol's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm +P compatibility. Most modern steel-framed and polymer-framed .45 ACP pistols — such as the GLOCK 21, Springfield XD, and most 1911 variants — are designed to handle +P loads, but regular use may increase wear over time. It's generally recommended to rotate +P carry loads with standard-pressure ammunition during training sessions.
How does the 230-grain bullet weight affect performance compared to lighter .45 ACP loads?
The 230-grain bullet is the classic, military-spec weight for the .45 ACP cartridge, balancing momentum, penetration, and manageable recoil. At +P velocities (~950 fps), the CorBon JHP achieves meaningful velocity gains over standard 230gr loads while retaining the deep penetration and wide expansion characteristic of heavier bullets. Lighter .45 ACP bullets (185gr, 200gr) may expand more aggressively but sacrifice some penetration depth. For most self-defense scenarios, the 230gr +P JHP offers a well-rounded terminal performance profile.
How should I store unused CorBon JHP ammunition?
Store your CorBon 45 ACP +P JHP ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Keep rounds in their original box until ready for use. Avoid storing ammunition in vehicles for extended periods, as temperature fluctuations can degrade primer sensitivity and propellant consistency over time. Properly stored, factory centerfire ammunition remains reliable for many years.
