Details
Speer® brought sport shooters and law enforcement the excellence of Lawman over 35 years ago. Back in 1968, the line included various calibers of centerfire handgun ammunition, and quickly earned a reputation as a high-performance and reliable product.
Lawman is attractively priced, and the cases are reloadable with clean-burning propellants and reliable CCI primers to complete the package.
Note that total metal jacket (TMJ) is essentially the same as full metal jacket (FMJ).

Video Transcript:
Speer is part of ATK family of ammo brands, along with Federal, Estate, and several others. ATK is one of the largest ammo companies in the world, and all of their ammo is made here in the US. The Speer brand is mostly known for producing self-defense ammo like the famous Speer Gold Dot, but they also make products designed for training, like this Speer Lawman in 40 Smith and Wesson. We tried a couple of boxes of Speer Lawman in 40 Smith and Wesson with a 180 grain bullet. The cases are reloadable brass with a non-corrosive primer. The lead-core bullet is encased in the special Speer total metal jacket. Most full metal jacket bullets leave the lead base exposed, but Speer's total metal jacket completely encases the bullet. This allows for slightly less toxic lead residue to be released into the air when the round is fired, which is an ideal feature for training on an indoor range or extended periods. Lawman is under the Speer brand because it's loaded a little hotter than normal practice ammo and it's intended to simulate the recoil impulse of the Gold Dot load. So you can practice with a less expensive Lawman ammo and carry the hollow-points and the point of impact and recoil should be about the same. Six different handguns were used to test for function and performance. We did notice the increased recoil from this ammo but it was not significantly stronger than most other practice loads. That said, if you're used to shooting lighter practice loads in your self-defense pistol, you might want to run a few boxes of Lawman to get used to the slightly stronger recoil. Reliability was excellent, and we didn't have any feeding issues in any of the test guns. We tried a 10 shot group from the bench at 15 yards with a Sig P226. Even though is not quite as tight as some of the other Lawman loads, it's still a respectable group for a practice round. If you want top-notch range ammo, or if you want to train with full power loads but don't want to pay the price for premium defense ammo, then pick up a few boxes of Speer Lawman in 40 Smith and Wesson.

- great ammo Review by vcareri

FTF/FTE ??? After about 2500 rounds... just great cycles and target bullseyes. Granted the target was only ten feet away... LOL <kidding> I shoot at around 50yds and the 1,000FPS works great in my SigSauer P226 .40 Stainless. the TMJ works nice but the FMJ/TMJ CF are the cleanest. But, the TMJ's are a great 2nd.

The powder used in this ammo burns very clean with little residue, The inside of the case is almost as clean as the outside after firing. Made in the USA and worth the extra pennies in my book. (Posted on 12/12/10)Quality Performance Value - Great Bulk 40 S&W Ammo! Review by DEG

BurlMeister said: "The Lucky Gunner is the place I'll be buying my ammo from now on.It was my first time experience at buying ammo on line, so I was a little concerned. They were easy to find and navigate their web page.The selection was out standing and great prices. The thing that stood out the most was there customer service. You know all about your puchase and where it is until it reaches your front door, then they e-mail to make sure you recieved it. They are a company that knows customer service is what can make a company in difficult economic times."
