Frequently Asked Questions
What makes TMJ bullets better for indoor range use than standard FMJ?
Total Metal Jacket bullets fully enclose the lead core — including the base — whereas traditional Full Metal Jacket rounds leave the base of the bullet exposed. This significantly reduces the amount of vaporized lead released upon firing, making TMJ ammunition a preferred choice for indoor shooting ranges where ventilation may be limited and lead exposure is a concern for both shooters and range staff.
Will this 45 GAP ammunition function reliably in my Glock pistol?
Yes. The 45 GAP cartridge was developed in partnership with Glock and is purpose-built for Glock 37 (full-size), Glock 38 (compact), and Glock 39 (subcompact) pistols. Speer Lawman ammunition is manufactured to tight tolerances and is widely trusted by law enforcement agencies for training, ensuring reliable feeding, extraction, and ejection in standard 45 GAP Glock platforms.
Can I use these cases for reloading after shooting?
Absolutely. Speer Lawman 45 GAP rounds are loaded in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers, making them straightforward to resize, reprime, and reload using standard reloading dies. This adds excellent long-term value for handloaders who want to extend the life of their brass and further reduce the per-round cost of practice ammunition.
