The Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense 45 ACP ammunition delivers maximum stopping power through its innovative fluid transfer monolithic design. This 135-grain round creates devastating wound channels while maintaining deep penetration and consistent expansion across various barriers.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional hollow point bullets that can clog with clothing or drywall, the Xtreme Defense features machined flutes that channel fluid radially outward from the permanent wound cavity. This solid copper construction maintains structural integrity through intermediate barriers while creating temporary wound cavities up to 5 times larger than conventional bullets. The monolithic design eliminates core separation issues common with jacketed rounds.
Key Features
- 135-grain solid copper monolithic construction for barrier penetration
- Machined flutes create radial fluid transfer and enhanced wound channels
- Deep straight-line penetration of 15+ inches in ballistic gelatin
- Lead-free design safe for indoor ranges and environmentally sensitive areas
- Consistent performance through clothing, drywall, and automotive glass
- Match-grade accuracy with tight velocity consistency
- 50-round bulk packaging for training and duty use
Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling in full-size and compact 45 ACP pistols across temperature extremes. The monolithic bullet design maintains accuracy standards suitable for defensive applications while delivering terminal performance that exceeds FBI penetration protocols. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this ammunition for duty carry due to its consistent expansion characteristics and reduced ricochet potential compared to traditional hollow points.
