What Customers Say
Customers rate this ammunition 4.83 out of 5 across over 1027 verified reviews and growing.
I recently received my order of a case (1,000 rounds) of American Eagle 45 ACP ammo and I am very satisfied with the product. My wife and I fire about 400 rnds. per week, needless to say, we will be ordering another case soon. TS USA service was exceptional.
Jackie L.
Good round, mostly accurate and fps higher than most. Every once and a while I'll get a flier that barely grazes the target at 7 yds when I was aiming at the bulls eye. Could have been a bad batch. I have had good experience AE overall.
Jeff P.
Bought two boxes of this because Target Sport was out of S&B. Brought the first box to the range last week and ran very well in my compact Rock Island 1911 which can be a little finicky. I'm hoping the second box runs just as smoothly.
