Magtech's 45 ACP bonded JHP ammo is a great choice for self-defense ammo. Geared towards the needs of law enforcement and civilian personal defense, this round boasts a bonded projectile. Bonded projectiles are designed to perform well through various barriers ensuring that the jacket and core remain intact. This results in deeper penetration compared to most non-bonded projectiles when barriers are involved.

Magtech ammunition is manufactured in Brazil and is widely sold throughout the world to law enforcement agencies, militaries, and consumers. Magtech ammo has gained a strong reputation in the United States over the last number of years as it has become more widely available and consumers have realized what a good find it is.

Ballistic Gel Test

Ballistics Test Summary

Ballistic gelatin testing is one way to get an idea of how a self-defense load might perform in a real world self-defense situation. So we fired five rounds of Magtech 230 gr Bonded from a Kahr CW45 from a distance of 10 feet into a block of synthetic ballistic gel with a barrier of four layers of fabric simulating heavy clothing. We then gathered information on the expansion and penetration characteristics of this load. That data is represented in the chart below.

How this load compares to other .45 ACP loads from our tests in regards to bullet expansion and penetration can be found in the diagrams at the bottom of the page.

We also took photos of each bullet that was recovered from the gelatin, seen in the photo slider below. The high speed video shows this round impacting the ballistic gelatin at 5000 frames per second.
