The Sig Sauer E45AP220 Elite Performance 45 ACP 230gr V-Crown Jacketed Hollow Point brings a shooter-focused balance of terminal performance and reliable function, and if you run this Elite Performance series round through your duty or personal-defense pistols you'll appreciate why its a go-to for serious users. This load uses a stacked hollow point design with an additional hollow cavity and V-shaped jacket skives and scores to promote controlled, uniform expansion for consistent wound channels, while the unique toothed cannelure halfway up the shank helps preserve bullet weight and aids terminal penetration when needed. DUCTA-BRIGHT 7A nickel-plated brass cases offer superior corrosion resistance and slick feeding and extraction under stress, and the low-flash propellant reduces visible signature at the muzzle during low-light engagements. With a 230 grain V-Crown JHP delivering roughly 830 fps and about 352 ft-lbs of energy, this .45 ACP load suits home defense, duty carry, and range validation of defensive loads, and shooters testing feeding reliability and terminal effects will find the combination of design elements and materials gives repeatable results in modern 1911 and polymer-frame pistols.
