The Lehigh Defense LA38068XD Xtreme Defense ammunition delivers maximum terminal performance in the compact 380 ACP platform. This specialized home defense round features a 68-grain solid copper projectile engineered to create devastating wound channels while maintaining reliable feeding and extraction. Unlike traditional hollow points that can clog with fabric or fail to expand, the Xtreme Defense design creates consistent terminal ballistics regardless of barriers.
What Makes This Different
The patented Xtreme Defense bullet design features precisely machined flutes that generate hydraulic pressure waves upon impact, creating wound cavities significantly larger than the bullet diameter. This solid copper construction eliminates lead exposure concerns while providing 100% weight retention. Standard hollow point ammunition often fails to expand at lower velocities typical of 380 ACP, but the XD projectile performs consistently across all impact velocities.Key Features
