Lehigh Defense Maximum Expansion Round .45 Colt for Judge/Governor

Just found out about these:

How long have these been out? I did a search here and 0 results for "lehigh" in this forum.

Anyone use them or carry them or done any testing? Thanks.

They cost $42 for 12 rounds.

I'd never pay that much when there are lots of other choices that work

I understand the importance of being frugal, but with defensive ammo?

but with defensive ammo?

Unproven defensive ammo, though.

It was actually on TFL about a year ago. I seem to recall the thread title was a bit cryptic. I also seem to recall that the consensus was that there were some flaws in the big claims made by the company.

I'm inclined to agree with Snyper: let someone else do the beta testing in a crisis situation given that other HPs are known to perform.

There are many good defensive loads for the 45 LC that are economical enough that you could actually practice with them

Also, the 45 LC isn't a great choice for a self defense gun, since it's really more power than you need

These specialty loads won't do much that a much cheaper JHP won't do for far less money
