Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition truly subsonic, and will it cycle reliably in standard .45 ACP pistols?
Yes — at a muzzle velocity of 830 fps, this load stays well below the speed of sound (~1,125 fps), making it ideal for suppressed use. The 230-grain flat nose enclosed base bullet is heavy enough to reliably cycle most standard full-size .45 ACP pistols, though lighter or compact models with stiffer recoil springs may occasionally experience reduced reliability with any subsonic load. We recommend testing a box in your specific pistol before committing to larger quantities.
How does this load perform with a suppressor compared to standard .45 ACP ammunition?
Because this Remington Subsonic load was co-developed with AAC (Advanced Armament Corporation), it is specifically tuned to maximize suppressor performance. By keeping the bullet below the speed of sound, you eliminate the supersonic "crack" that standard velocity or +P loads produce, leaving only the mechanical action noise. The result is significantly reduced report, making it one of the quieter .45 ACP options available for suppressed shooting.
Can I use this ammunition for small game hunting, and what range is appropriate?
Yes — Remington rates this load for small game use. The 230-grain flat nose bullet delivers adequate energy at close to moderate ranges (typically inside 50 yards) for small game such as rabbits or similar-sized animals. The flat nose profile also provides reliable terminal performance and a clean wound channel. Always verify local hunting regulations regarding handgun caliber and ammunition type requirements before heading afield.
