Liberty Civil Defense 380 ACP ammunition delivers maximum stopping power through advanced hollow point technology engineered for personal protection. This 50-grain load achieves superior expansion and penetration compared to traditional ball ammunition. The nickel-plated brass cases provide reliable feeding and extraction in semi-automatic pistols.
What Makes This Different
Liberty's Civil Defense line uses a fragmenting hollow point design that creates multiple wound channels upon impact. The 50-grain bullet weight generates higher velocities than heavier conventional loads, producing 1,200+ fps muzzle velocity from compact pistols. This combination of speed and expansion delivers significantly more energy transfer than standard 95-grain FMJ rounds while reducing felt recoil.
Key Features
- 50-grain fragmenting hollow point bullet for maximum expansion
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and enhance feeding
- High velocity design achieves 1,200+ fps from short barrels
- Reduced recoil compared to heavier bullet weights
- Lead-free construction meets indoor range requirements
- Optimized for compact and subcompact 380 ACP pistols
- Consistent powder charge ensures reliable cycling
This ammunition performs exceptionally in concealed carry scenarios where reliable expansion and immediate incapacitation are critical. The fragmenting design creates multiple wound channels while the high velocity ensures adequate penetration through clothing barriers. Testing shows consistent expansion across various barrel lengths, from 2.7-inch pocket pistols to 4-inch compact frames. The nickel-plated cases extract cleanly even in rapid-fire situations.
