Triton 450 SMC / .45 ACP Giveaway

To kick off our production of the 450 Short Magnum Cartridge (SMC)* Triton is please to offer the following ammunition give-away to the Members of TFL.

To the first 50 people who respond to this post Triton will send them a 20 round box of 450 SMC, 230 gr. Hi-Vel.

Knowing that not everyone has a firearm set-up for the 450 SMC we will also offer a 20 round box of .45 ACP, 230 gr. Hi-Vel to the first 50 people who request this alternative ammunition.

To take advantage of either offer please send an e-mail to The Firing Line Giveaway. In your e-mail specify either 450 SMC or .45 ACP along with a mailing address. Address must be a physical address (no PO Boxes).

Only one box per household will be shipped. If it is discovered that someone is “gaming” this giveaway in an effort to receive multiple boxes that person will be taken off the mailing list.


WARNING: The 450 SMC cartridge generates higher pressure levels than conventional .45 Auto or .45 Auto +P ammunition. Under no circumstances should 450 SMC ammunition be used in a firearm not chambered or converted to handle the 450 SMC. The use of 450 SMC ammunition in anything other than firearm manufactured or converted to handle the 450 SMC will cause excessive wear and possible damage to the firearm and injury to the user. Under no circumstances should .45 Auto brass be used to duplicate 450 SMC ballistics. The 450 SMC cartridge case is constructed to withstand higher levels of pressure than conventional .45 Auto brass. When in doubt, consult with a qualified gunsmith. Call Triton for more information or for a location of a qualified Smith.

I'm still waiting for those two "free boxes" I asked you for about 2 years ago. I aske for either 45 ACP or 10mm in response to your offer on GlockTalk and TFL. :rolleyes:

Pretty unsatisfied with Triton so far.

In contrast, Cor-Bon sent the ones he offered immediately.

Not sure were the cut-off is going to be on either the 450 SMC or .45 ACP. We are going out of town tonight for a Demonstration/Shoot and will not be back until Monday.

When we get back I’ll be downloading all the mail doing up a tally. I’ll post the date/time of the e-mail that is the 50th for both the 450 SMC & .45 ACP. Any mails after that date/time, unfortunately, didn’t make it.
 
I hope I got my email in in time. I don't have a gun chambered for 450 SMC, but I have a few in .45 ACP. I use Triton ammunition in my carry gun. I am real fond of the 135gr HI-VEL in .40s&w.:D
 
Email sent. I wanted som Triton ammo in .380 and Natchez was out. I'll give this a try and if I like it I'll try to find the .380 I've been looking for.
 
Oh, I really,really,really want to try some of that new ammo!!

230gr. at 1150fps

165gr. at 1450fps

Decisions, decisions......:)
