USA – -(Ammoland.com)- I’m an attorney living in Seattle. A beautiful place with a bad drug problem.
I’ll admit I’m not a great shot, don’t hit the range as often as I’d like, don’t have a zillion guns, cases of ammo. But I’m concerned about my safety and my family’s safety.
And I’ll take a shortcut-the oversized driver in my bag, the big-head putter. I was in the hardware store a couple of weeks ago and this young girl is being asked to leave; things got a little hairy. The guys at the counter remarked “meth-heads; they’re everywhere.”
I went home and did a quick google search which led me to your AmmoLand News website. I saw the article and decided to buy some FLAK 45s. Looked like an oversize club in bullet form.
Got my ammo delivered and went out to the country last weekend. It was very much like using WD40 for the first time. The pictures of my old shed didn’t come out very well but the bullets work just like on the video. Watermelon-history! After going through a couple of bags (I bought 4) my “definitely not an expert” report is that the bullet goes through everything-including a 50 year old shed at about 15 feet-and the little pellets are pretty fierce as well. At the same 15 feet, they were buried into the wood. If it was flesh instead of wood, it would definitely cause damage.
It is an interesting feeling when you can really just “point and shoot” and know that you will hit your target.
Every once in a while, you find something that makes so much sense, is simple, and works. You kick yourself for not thinking of it yourself. Who would have thought, with all of the brilliant resources around, that nobody thought of this before.
I went back to the AmmoLand website and was looking at the comments. Did those commenters even bother to try the product? I did and I just ordered some more (I guess I got a little excited and blew threw the first order-though I did save ONE.) Who are those people? In my business, “blame the victim” is used all of the time. But “oh, its her fault for not going to the range enough,” seems a little callous when we are talking about a home intrusion, don’t you think? I know that I saved one; it is in the chamber of the 45 under my pillow.
When my next order arrives, I’ll get some pictures and video and post them. Thanks for turning me on to this product; you did me a big favor. It really is a relief, in a way. Like your article says, it just works. It did for me.

I like the Flak .45 ammo. I think it is great. I bought some myself and it works as advertised. Those complaining about it never tried or used the stuff. Plus I am not an elitist shooter who can afford to spend $500 a week at expensive action shooting ranges honing my skills to a super fine degree. I do not see the shot as being a serious problem as the shot has a limited range compared to how far a bullet will go. But the shot will be very distracting to an assailant, even if it doesn’t kill him… Read more »
You should buy a few pouches of these
Pain threshold or not if you take out his eyes how will he get you?
The website wont allow any more replies to James’ messages above so I am replying here as well to others I see the suggestion that somehow dry-fire or “snap-caps” is an acceptable replacement for actual live fire training. ALL dry fire does is to exercise the draw portion of the motion. It has NOTHING to do with either maintaining weapon control or muzzle recovery during and after a discharge. I am NOT suggesting that everyone needs to shoot 1K per week and short of actually taking one of the “evil courses” that have been bantered around no one really does… Read more »
Going to all of these comments, I’ve noticed that the narcissists and elitists, those fine folks are adamantly against this type of ammunition, are steering very, very, widely, clear of addressing any of the specific points I made pertaining to shooting distances, or that the author of the article made, referring to accuracy rates of what has been described as ” the finest trained law enforcement agency in the world.”: aka, the New York City Police Dept All I’ve seen is a bunch of blather about why “Yes you’re poor but you that doesn’t abrogate your legal responsibility if you… Read more »
If it’s good for the trumps it’s good for me go trump and god bless America
“You’ve seen this constant attack. And I’ve seen it in my states and I can’t order ammunition you know online and they say, ‘Well, this man was arrested and he had a thousand rounds of ammunition in his vehicle,’” Trump Jr. said.
“Excuse me, I have a thousand rounds of ammunition in my vehicle almost at all not only that I alway have my FLAK .45 in my chamber because it’s called two bricks of .22 +1,” Trump Jr. insisted.
I think everyone that has commented is a troll and are butt hurt for not coming up with this on their own. I heard patriot will be offering load data and the ability to purchase components For the reload market what do you trolls think about that.
I have a question. Why are the initials given for the author of this article given as R. P. M. when the original author was a Mr. Kernan ESQ? I am beginning to doubt the authenticity of the authorship of the article. And to James Bailey: No one is insisting that you spend beyond what you determine to be your means. What is being pointed out is that you will be held accountable to a certain standard no matter how much you practiced, what ammo you used, or how much money you spent doing so. Pleading poverty because a shooting… Read more »
If bird shot is a bad idea I suppose everyone who has a revolver that shoots 45 LC and 410 has better leave them at home. I understand the personal responsibility but if he is using the ammo for home defense more power to him. I wouldn’t carry such a round for personal defense but that is my choice for myself. I would not be so bold as to make a decision like that for some else. It still is, well kind of, a free country and everyone who fires a weapon in self defense had better be ready to… Read more »
