The Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense 45ACP+P delivers maximum stopping power through advanced fragmenting hollow point technology that creates devastating wound channels while eliminating lead exposure concerns. This premium defensive ammunition combines a lightweight 78-grain projectile with +P pressure levels to achieve superior terminal performance in critical situations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional heavy-grain 45ACP rounds, the Civil Defense design utilizes a lightweight copper projectile that fragments upon impact, creating multiple wound channels instead of a single permanent cavity. The lead-free construction eliminates toxic exposure during range training while maintaining consistent ballistic performance. Independent testing shows this ammunition achieves velocities exceeding 1900 fps from a 5-inch barrel, delivering energy transfer comparable to much heavier conventional rounds.
Key Features
- 78-grain lead-free copper hollow point projectile for maximum fragmentation
- +P pressure loading delivers 1900+ fps muzzle velocity from 5-inch barrels
- Fragmenting design creates multiple wound channels for enhanced stopping power
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and ensure reliable feeding
- Low recoil characteristics enable faster follow-up shots
- Compatible with all standard 45ACP firearms and magazines
- 20-round boxes packaged in 50-case quantities for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates consistent expansion and fragmentation across various barrel lengths, from compact carry pistols to full-size service weapons. The reduced projectile weight generates less felt recoil than standard 230-grain loads while maintaining effective penetration depths within FBI protocol standards. This ammunition performs reliably in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for year-round carry and duty applications.
