Product Overview
The CorBon POW'RBALL 45 ACP +P 165 Grain delivers cutting-edge self-defense performance through a patented polymer-ball design that solves the most common hollow point failure modes — feeding issues and cavity plugging.
- Patented polymer ball cap ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols
- +P rated 165 gr bullet launches at a searing 1,225 fps muzzle velocity
- V-shaped lead core cavity produces consistent, controlled expansion on impact
- Polymer ball prevents clothing and debris from plugging the hollow point cavity
- Gilding metal jacket with lead core balances penetration depth and terminal expansion
- 20-round box delivers a full supply for carry rotation or range evaluation
Who This Is For
The CorBon POW'RBALL 45 ACP +P is purpose-built for concealed carriers, home defenders, and law enforcement professionals who demand absolute reliability from their .45 ACP platform. It is especially well-suited for shooters using 1911s, Glock 21s, or similar semi-autos where feeding reliability with hollow points can be a concern, and for anyone whose threat environment involves adversaries wearing heavy clothing that might otherwise defeat a conventional expanding bullet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CorBon POW'RBALL 45 ACP +P safe to use in my standard .45 ACP pistol?
Because this ammunition is rated +P, it operates at higher-than-standard chamber pressures. Before using +P ammunition, you should confirm that your specific firearm is rated and approved for +P loads by consulting your owner's manual or contacting the manufacturer. Most modern steel-framed and polymer-framed .45 ACP pistols support +P, but older or lightweight alloy-framed handguns may not be suitable for sustained +P use.
How does the POW'RBALL design compare to a standard hollow point for self-defense?
Traditional hollow points can fail in two ways: they may not feed reliably in semi-automatic pistols due to their open cavity catching on the feed ramp, and the cavity can become plugged with fabric or debris, preventing expansion. The POW'RBALL's polymer ball solves both problems simultaneously — it creates a smooth, round nose profile for flawless feeding, then is pushed into the lead V-cavity on impact to initiate consistent expansion after several inches of penetration.
How many rounds should I carry for self-defense, and how should I store the remainder?
Most defensive shooters carry one full magazine plus a spare, rotating carry ammunition periodically to prevent setback or primer degradation. Store unused rounds from the 20-round box in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid storing loose rounds where they can rattle against each other or be exposed to oils and solvents, which can compromise primer reliability over time.
