What do GT'ers think??

[SunDevil78]

I have looked, but I am unable to find the specs on the .45 ACP +P Remington Golden Saber load...could anyone out there help me out with that? Is it a good load? Could I use this load in the wild as a side arm to wart off potential threats such as Mountain Lions or Bears? The reason I ask is because I can get a thousand rounds for a ridiculously low price but I don't want to buy it if it if I can go in a better direction. Please help!!

***Also, there has been a lot of talk about the Double Tap .45 ACP being powerful enough to make the G30 or 21 into a veritable .44 Mag? Did I read that correctly? I am relatively new to the gun world, so please, help out the newbie!! Thanks!

Double tap makes some great ammo at +p pressures w/o being +p rated. Dont ask me how he does it. As far as being like a 44mag, no where near. There are lots of quality loads for the 45acp and the GS is a good choice, however I do perfer 200-230grn over the lighter 165-185grn. I carry 200grn +p Gold Dots or 230 grn Winchester Ranger law enforcement ammo, as well as 230 grn Double Tap. I dont know if I answered your question but I hope I helped. The G29 or G20 is a great choice for sheer power.
