Light Recoiling 45ACP Range Ammunition
Buffalo Bore manufactures some of the highest quality ammunition for both the hunter and for your own personal defense. Made in Montana, Buffalo Bore Ammunition delivers both in performance and selection. They use only premium grade components and materials to produce ammunition that you know you can count on. Buffalo Bore is field tested in real world "over the counter" guns, not test barrels. When you pull the trigger, know that you have the ammo that will do the job.This particular load is traveling roughly the same speed as the original 230gr ball load used by our military for decades, but this bullet is 185grs. which is 45 grains lighter and hence the free recoil generated is substantially less. Buffalo Bore utilizes a non-expanding solid bullet with a flat nose to promote maximum terminal damage. Additionally, one of the beauties of the 45 ACP cartridge is that the bullet is 45 caliber and does not require expansion to be very lethal to humans. While round nosed bullets tend to slip through tissues doing little damage; flat nosed bullets crush their way through tissues and do considerably more damage.

Answer:
Hello! This ammo should function correctly in your XD-S. Buffalo Bore claims that this low-recoil round's 185 grain FMJ is capable of penetrating 20" deep into living mammalian tissues. With correct aim, it can theoretically get the job done on bears. With that said, the 45 ACP is already a bit underpowered for grizzly, and this low-vel round's lower striking energy does raise concern. My top pick for bear defense would be a +P hard cast load: high recoil, high power, and an extra rigid bullet that avoids expansion in favor of the deepest possible penertation. I regret that we haven't got one of my preferred 45 Auto bear loads in stock, though I'd recommend any of the following: Federal Solid Core +P 240 Grain Syntech Jacket FN | Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman +P 255 Grain Hard Cast FN | Underwood +P 255 Grain Hard Cast FN | Doubletap +P 255 Grain Hard Cast SWC
