Or 230gr for better penetration.The 185 grain weight for higher velocity and better expansion from the short bbl.
The 45ACP Gold Dot Short Barrel ammo is 230gr only, but the regular Gold Dot is available in 185gr, 200gr and 230gr.
I'm in the process of choosing a 45ACP SD load for a 1911 Officer's model - sufficient velocity for reliable expansion out of a short barrel is my main concern. (Feed reliability hasn't been an issue for anything from 185gr to 230gr, LSWC, LHP, JHP handloads and factory).
