Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 45 ACP 230 grain jacketed hollow point 45T500 ammo takes the familiar 230-grain 45 ACP weight and substitutes a defensive hollow-point projectile for the ordinary FMJ hardball nose. The 230-grain JHP keeps the nominal weight many 45 ACP shooters recognize while changing the bullet's intended terminal behavior.
A hollow-point cavity is designed to promote expansion when impact conditions allow, but it also changes the feeding profile relative to full metal jacket practice ammunition. Fiocchi publishes 850 fps for this 230-grain load. The stated velocity is a product specification; whether the two projectile types share a point of impact can only be established with an individual handgun.
Using the exact bullet in the intended 45 ACP pistol is especially relevant if most regular practice has been with round-nose hardball. The difference in nose shape is worth evaluating even though the bullet weight matches a conventional FMJ. Fiocchi packages 50 rounds of this defensive ammo, which allows an owner to check functioning beyond a single magazine.
