Got a new S&W1911 .45 and was wondering what type of ammo you would suggest I buy to use as a break in ?
I realize there are different grains and some are more powerfull than others, but I'm not sure what to get.:confused:
Thank you.

Any 230 gr ball ammo will do the job just fine. If you plan to use it as a CCW or home defense gun, make sure whatever load you plan on carrying is reliable out of it. When I first shot my S&W 1911, I bought a 250 round box of MagTech 230gr ball. It ate it up no problem.

Just to let you know, I have fired quite a bit of rounds out of my S&W 1911 without any failures. Both ball and jhp have fed and shot fine out of mine.
