The Lehigh Defense LA990XDC Xtreme Defense delivers maximum stopping power through innovative solid copper construction and fluid transfer monolithic design. This 90-grain 9mm Luger ammunition creates devastating wound channels while maintaining barrier-blind performance for reliable home defense applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional hollow point bullets that can clog with clothing or drywall, the Xtreme Defense features permanent wound channels created by fluid transfer technology. The solid copper construction eliminates lead fragmentation while the unique nose geometry forces fluid displacement radially outward. This design produces wound cavities 2-3 times larger than conventional ammunition while maintaining consistent penetration depths of 12-18 inches in ballistic gelatin.
Key Features
- 90-grain solid copper monolithic bullet construction
- Fluid Transfer Monolithic (FMT) technology for maximum tissue disruption
- Barrier-blind performance through clothing, drywall, and glass
- Lead-free design eliminates toxic exposure concerns
- Consistent 12-18 inch penetration depth in ballistic testing
- Temperature stable performance from -20°F to 200°F
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion and energy transfer across various barrier materials common in home defense scenarios. The lighter 90-grain bullet weight generates higher velocities while reducing felt recoil compared to heavier defensive loads. Law enforcement agencies report consistent terminal performance in duty applications, with the solid copper construction preventing bullet fragmentation that could compromise barrier penetration.
