❓ FAQ Section

Q: Is 9mm better than .45 ACP for self-defense?
A: Both are effective; 9mm offers higher capacity and manageable recoil, .45 ACP provides larger projectile mass — choose based on firearm, training, and carry needs.

Q: What does +P mean?
A: +P indicates higher pressure loads for increased velocity and energy—only use if your firearm is rated for +P.

Q: Can I use FMJ for home defense?
A: FMJ is not recommended for home defense due to over-penetration; JHP defensive rounds are preferred.

Q: How should I store handgun ammo?
A: Keep ammo in a cool, dry place in sealed containers away from direct sunlight and humidity.
