Due to customer demand, Buffalo Bore has introduced five new full-power .45 GAP loads. These are not +P loads and are safe for use in any and all .45 GAP chambered pistols. Each load utilizes flash-suppressed powder to prevent shooter blindness in low-light conditions—an essential feature, as most defensive shootings in the U.S. occur in the dark.
Buffalo Bore uses real-world, over-the-counter pistols to determine published velocities. We do not rely on extra-long laboratory test barrels, which produce misleadingly high velocity figures that cannot be replicated in actual carry pistols.
