Getting back into .45ACP after a long hiatus. I want to carry my HK45C this fall but I am sure of the round I want to carry. In my 9mms I carry the 147gr +P HST and have been very happy with its performance in testing. Wondering if this performance translates to the 230gr +P HST as well or if I should stay with standard pressure or even move to a lighter .45 +P offering.

You have a 3.94in barrel, and these tests by Luckygunner were done with a 3.64in barrel, so a bit shorter but close... for reference.

Standard HST seems to do better ... certainly not lacking!

Ranger Ts expanded to .99 ... damns

Concur.

Nothing wrong with the HST; I would go +P but if cost if no object, the HST 150 Micro HST performs well.

I just bought a case of the Ranger Ts based on the 1.00" expanded diameter (and sufficient penetration).
