Details

Do you have a 1911 or other 45 ACP pistol? If so, then this ammo is perfect for your next range day.

This Federal American Eagle ammunition, in 45 ACP, features a 230 grain full metal jacket bullet. This load is not new to 45 auto pistols, in fact it is the exact same as the ammo used by the US military when they carried the 1911. It is a load that results in proper function, moderate recoil, and excellent accuracy. And when paired with a 230 grain defensive load, this ammo make a great defensive training round.

Federal American Eagle ammunition is manufactured in Anoka, Minnesota. The Anoka plant is also where the rest of Federal Premium ammunition is produced. Each round is loaded using a Boxer primed, reloadable brass casing.

Detailed Analysis:

What Shooters Praise (The Pros)

Reliability

Nearly all reviewers reported zero malfunctions, jams, or failures to feed/extract, even after hundreds of rounds in session. Any rare issues were attributed to new guns or equipment problems rather than the ammo itself. Strongly praised for feeding well in a wide range of firearms, including 1911s, Glock, SIG, Ruger, and S&W models.

Performance

Performance is described as smooth and accurate, with bullets shooting cleanly and grouping consistently at typical range distances. Many users noted that the ammo runs cleaner than most budget alternatives, with minimal or manageable residue. Some minor dirtiness compared to premium ammo, but not an obstacle for regular cleaning routines. Also regarded as suitable for light defensive use, though mainly intended for training.

Bargain

Repeatedly cited as a strong value, especially when purchased in bulk. Prices are described as competitive or better than local retailers, though several buyers wish cost per round was even lower. Fast, reliable shipping and seamless online service enhance perceived value. Consistent mention of customers intending to reorder due to overall economy and dependability.

What to Know (The Nuances)

• Brass casing is reloadable, a positive for handloaders
• Leaves some residue, but generally less than most budget ammo; cleaning required but not excessive
• Consistent comments that the ammo is clean enough for extended range sessions
• Fast and reliable shipping, often exceeding buyer expectations and outpacing local in-store availability
• Price is considered fair for the quality, though a few customers desire continued decreases
• Works well across multiple firearm brands and has minimal feeding issues
• Most issues reported (stovepipes, FTEs) were rare and traced to unrelated firearm/magazine problems

Conclusion

This Federal American Eagle .45 ACP ammunition is a top pick for shooters seeking reliable, accurate, and affordable range or training ammo. Its consistent performance, reloadable brass casing, and clean shooting characteristics make it ideal for bulk buyers and frequent shooters. Some cleaning is needed after sessions, but residue is manageable. The fast shipping and competitive pricing further solidify its appeal. Best suited for those wanting dependable range ammo with minimal hassle and solid value for money.

A: Yes sir. You can learn your order's total cost without committing to anything by adding everything you want to your cart and going to checkout.

Posted On: 7/19/2022 By: Glen Fisher

A: Thanks for reaching out Glen! I can't say for sure since I don't know what kind of ammo your Glock is chambered for. If your Glock is a G21, G30, G36 or G41 that is chambered for 45 ACP, then this is the kind of ammo you'd want for target practice!
