Federal Personal Defense HST 45 ACP 230 grain jacketed hollow point P45HST1S ammo combines the familiar 230-grain 45 ACP bullet weight with a +P pressure designation. The HST JHP uses an engineered hollow-point nose rather than the non-expanding design of conventional 45 ACP hardball.
The +P marking is the first compatibility detail to check, particularly with older 45 ACP pistols that may not be approved for higher-pressure loads. HST's scored jacket and mechanical locking cannelure are designed to guide deformation while helping retain the bullet's components. Federal lists this ammo at 950 fps.
Before carrying the ammunition, a shooter should confirm that the intended pistol is approved for 45 ACP +P and verify function and point of impact using the exact HST load. Nickel cases and a 20-round package distinguish the factory defensive configuration.
