Buffalo Bore loaded the Strictly Business line with one goal in mind: deliver credible stopping power from a .45 ACP platform. This is their full-pressure +P offering using a 230 grain jacketed hollow point bullet, which sits at the sweet spot between velocity and mass for the cartridge. You get 950 fps of muzzle velocity with 461 foot-pounds of energy out of typical barrel lengths, pressures that will require some attention to your firearm if you shoot it regularly.
Being a Buffalo Bore load means you get flash-suppressed powder loaded into these rounds. That matters if you ever need to use your pistol in low light or darkness. The flash reduction keeps your night vision intact so you can see what's happening around you instead of being blinded by your own muzzle flash. For a defensive round, that's a practical feature that doesn't get mentioned often enough.
Buffalo Bore publishes velocities from actual firearms, not optimized laboratory test barrels. They use real 1911s and other common platforms to establish their numbers, which means what you see is what you'll actually get out of your gun. That 950 fps figure comes from field testing with actual pistols, so expect consistent performance from gun to gun.
The +P pressure designation means higher chamber pressures than standard .45 ACP loads. If you're running through boxes of this ammunition regularly, you'll want to consider a heavier recoil spring for your pistol. A Wolf Spring that adds 4 to 6 pounds of additional spring weight over factory stock springs will help manage the extra pressure and keep your firearm working reliably long-term. The round itself feeds and chambers without any issues in standard .45 ACP firearms in normal working order.
Yes, the +P load is dimensionally identical to standard .45 ACP ammo and will chamber in any .45 ACP firearm in normal operating condition. The +P designation simply means higher chamber pressures. If you plan to shoot more than a box or two of this ammunition regularly, consider upgrading your recoil spring with a heavier aftermarket option to manage the additional pressure.
Buffalo Bore uses real firearms for velocity testing instead of optimized laboratory test barrels. That 950 fps figure is what you'll actually see from your pistol, not inflated numbers from bench-top setups. This gives you realistic performance expectations based on how the ammunition actually performs in field conditions.
Flash-suppressed powder reduces the bright muzzle flash that occurs when you fire. In a low-light defensive situation, this helps preserve your night vision so you can see what's happening around you instead of being temporarily blinded by your own shot. It's a practical consideration that professional users appreciate.
The 230 grain bullet is the standard weight for the .45 ACP and has been for over a century. It provides good balance between velocity and mass, which matters for both expansion and penetration performance. Buffalo Bore's choice to use this weight in their Strictly Business line means you're getting a proven configuration that performs in real-world testing.
