Product Overview
CCI's Blazer .45 ACP loads stick to what matters - delivering reliable performance at a price that keeps you shooting. This 230-grain FMJ round launches at 845 fps, hitting with a solid 365 ft-lbs of energy. That's right in the sweet spot for training ammunition, giving you authentic .45 ACP feedback without battering your pistol with unnecessary pressure spikes.
At the range, these rounds prove their worth through consistent performance. The moderate recoil impulse helps maintain sight picture between shots, perfect for practicing those rapid follow-ups. Whether you're running drills in your favorite 1911 or modern polymer-frame .45, these cartridges cycle smoothly and strike predictably - exactly what you want when focusing on fundamentals.
Indoor shooters will particularly appreciate CCI's clean-burning powder selection. Less smoke means clearer sight pictures during rapid strings, and less residue building up in your barrel. While premium self-defense ammunition has its place, these Blazer rounds let you log serious trigger time without breaking the bank. After all, proficiency comes from practice, and these rounds help you get more of it for your dollar.
- Economic price point enables more frequent practice sessions without budget strain
- Moderate pressure levels reduce wear on practice firearms during high-volume sessions
