I've been carrying/shooting .45 ACP hydrashoks, but I see that the APLP/Lemas is highly favored.

Is there a way to purchase a lot of this ammunition for carry?

Regards

Good question Alex,

TR, APLP, or Guy would best be able to answer that one. Gents?

I will defer to APLP on who he can sell to.

A non-AP enhanced civilian version of the ammo is marketed by RBCD, IIRC, their site is www.rbcd.net

APLP may also be able to speak on the legalities of the ammo, but I do not believe that any of the versions fall under the statutes regarding AP ammo.

HTH.

I cannot say what the commercial loads will do, but from a 3.5" Para P12 at 7 yards, every round of the 90gr. LeMas will cleanly hole a 1/4" hardened aluminum armor plate, or a 11 ga. Stainless steel panel.

FYI, 230 gr. Hydrashock will barely make a mark on the aluminum, and will moderately dent, but not penetrate the stainless.

Good stuff!

I was reading some of the testimonials on their site, and it looks to be very popular among the professionals.

Now to find a stocking dealer....

I have posted these before, but here is the LeMas and Hydrashok shots on aluminum armor, from the Para P-12 3.5" barrel.

HTH explain better.

I'm a believer. I wish I could purchase some of this stuff. Too bad former military don't count as end users.

Sorry, can't currently be posted due to site restrictions.

Got someone working on it.

It is a VERY impressive MP-5SD full auto clip.
