Will this ammo work for Rock Island 1911 .45 with 5" Barrel? Or, is there something better that won't jam. (For Self & Home Defense)

Hi David and welcome. This will work no issue. A better round for Self-Defense and Home Defense is the Federal Premium HST: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/59401/federal+.45+acp+230gr+hst+hollow+point+tactical+ammo+50rds ---------------------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

How would this ammo perform in the 3.3" Springfield XD,

Leon, it will work but I would recommend a Standard Pressure load. In such a short barrel, you will get more muzzle blast, unburnt powder and flash. You will not get as much velocity increase as you think with the shorter barrel. Standard load will be more controllable and easier for back on target shooting for faster more accurate followup shots. +P is really a Service size pistol or better loading.

Leon, You should have no problem. This is high quality ammunition in a quality handgun. I would fire/cycle several boxes just to make sure this specific +P hollow point cycled and ejected smoothly. I would be very surprised if everything didn't work perfectly.

Great hollow point for deer hunting, I used these out of a RIA 1911 during a doe hunt and was pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness. Very accurate and haven't had any misfeeds yet.
