Glaser Blue 45acp+p 145gr 20/500

The Glaser Blue 45 ACP +P 145 Grain ammunition is a specialized pre-fragmented round designed for controlled performance in warm-weather tactical environments where lightweight clothing is standard. Built around Glaser's proven Safety Slug technology, this cartridge combines a traditional copper jacket with a compressed lead shot core—a departure from conventional solid-core hollowpoints that prioritizes controlled fragmentation and barrier performance.

The 145-grain projectile is capped with a polymer ball that ensures consistent feeding and enables rapid follow-up shots from semi-automatic platforms. The compressed #12 lead shot core provides controlled energy transfer with reduced over-penetration compared to full-metal-jacket or traditional hollow-point loads. The +P pressure rating indicates this load is optimized for modern defense-grade firearms, delivering performance balances that prioritize shot placement reliability and terminal consistency across varying target media—a critical consideration in operational environments where clothing layers and barrier materials vary unpredictably.

This ammunition serves law enforcement, security professionals, and civilian shooters operating in tropical or hot climates where heavy outerwear is not worn. The design philosophy prioritizes controlled engagement in close-quarters scenarios where minimizing collateral risk while maintaining shot authority is essential. Each box contains 20 rounds, offering professional-grade specification in convenient training and duty quantities for regular practice and deployment rotation.

The 45 ACP cartridge remains the standard in military, law enforcement, and civilian defensive contexts, offering inherent stopping potential with naturally manageable recoil impulse. The Glaser Blue formulation addresses a specific niche within the 45 ACP market: operators seeking barrier-limited performance without traditional jacketed hollow-point construction, favoring the pre-fragmentation principle for consistency across diverse engagement scenarios.
