The Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense 45 Colt delivers maximum stopping power through advanced fragmenting technology that creates multiple wound channels. This lead-free hollow point ammunition generates velocities up to 1,500 fps while producing significantly less felt recoil than traditional loads.
What Makes This Different
Liberty's patented fragmenting design splits into multiple pieces upon impact, creating devastating terminal performance that outperforms conventional hollow points. The 78-grain projectile achieves higher velocities than standard 250-grain loads while maintaining deep penetration characteristics. This monolithic copper construction eliminates lead fouling and provides consistent expansion across various barrier materials.
Key Features
- 78-grain lead-free fragmenting hollow point for maximum terminal performance
- Velocities up to 1,500 fps with reduced felt recoil
- Monolithic copper construction eliminates lead fouling
- Consistent expansion through barriers including drywall and heavy clothing
- Clean-burning powder reduces barrel fouling and maintenance
- Nickel-plated brass cases for reliable feeding and extraction
- 20 rounds per box, 50 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling in single-action revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in 45 Colt. The fragmenting design proves effective for personal defense applications while the lead-free construction meets environmental regulations at indoor ranges. Accuracy remains consistent at typical defensive distances with minimal point-of-impact shift from standard loads.
