I gave the Colt stainless Officer's Model ACP to my father-in-law in 1991. It subsequently disappeared into his second wife's family. I was just told it will come back to me.

For general self defense factory ammunition for short barreled 45 semiautomatics - when winter over coats are worn - what are better performing factory 45 ACP factory ammunitions?

If those factory loads will not work as well as for use in the back woods of extreme west central Montana wilderness area, what additional other ammunition will do?

What about theses.

Any modern self-defense round by a major manufacture will be good enough for two legged self-defense and the smaller 4 legged kind.

For large bears one wants a deep penetrating bullet there are several out there.

Use your computer to search bear 45acp defense rounds you will find them.
