Title: School me on 185gr vs 230gr for .45ACP
Hey everyone, I'm looking to learn more about the differences between 185gr and 230gr for .45ACP. I've heard mixed opinions on which is better for self-defense, target shooting, and overall performance. Can anyone provide some insight or experiences with both weights? I'm looking to make an informed decision and would appreciate any input you have to offer. Thanks!

Why are we still debating this? The real question is: does bullet weight even matter in real-life self-defense situations? Lets focus on shot placement and training instead of getting caught up in the details.

Isnt it crazy how much debate there is over the weight of bullets for .45ACP? Personally, I think the differences are minimal and it all comes down to personal preference and shooting style. What do you guys think?

The weight of bullets for .45ACP may seem minimal to some, but it can significantly impact accuracy and recoil control. Its not just personal preference - its about the science of ballistics.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the whole debate about grain weight in .45ACP is overrated? I mean, at the end of the day, shot placement and practice matter more than a few extra grams, right?

Isnt it all about personal preference? Some swear by the power of 230gr, while others prefer the lighter recoil of 185gr. Lets just agree that both have their pros and cons, and move on.

Isnt the real question here whether .45ACP is even relevant anymore in todays world of advanced ammunition technology? Maybe its time to move on to more efficient calibers. Just a thought.
