Frequently Asked Questions

Which ammunition is recommended for use in my firearm?

firearms are designed to function with a variety of brands and types of ammunition in the appropriate caliber, but not all ammunition produces the same results. We recommends that you carefully read and understand your manual to determine which caliber is appropriate. We do not endorse any one brand, and recommend a visit to a pistol range to test fire different brands of ammunition in the appropriate caliber. +P is not suggested for models made prior to 1980. COLT DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF RELOADED AMMUNITION.
