Liberty's lead-free Civil Defense round delivers 2000+ fps from a lightweight 50-grain hollow point, offering reduced recoil and extended effective range for personal defense.
Liberty Ammunition's Civil Defense line represents a modern approach to personal defense ammunition, built on lead-free technology that doesn't compromise on performance.
The reduced projectile weight—less than half that of traditional lead-core bullets—delivers several practical benefits. You'll experience up to 16% less felt recoil and noticeably lighter magazine weight, making follow-up shots faster and easier. The lighter round maintains a flatter trajectory and superior ballistic coefficients, extending your effective range compared to standard ammunition.
Liberty's Civil Defense rounds have earned the National Tactical Officers Association's "Members Tested and Recommended" designation. In ballistic gelatin testing, these rounds consistently penetrate beyond the FBI minimum of 12 inches without over-penetrating, even when fired through clothing materials. The fragmenting hollow-point design creates wound channels exceeding 3.5 inches in width while maintaining controlled depth.
These rounds will penetrate intermediate barriers including car doors and windshields, as well as sheet metal and laminated glass—critical considerations for real-world defensive scenarios.
Liberty leads the industry in lead-free ammunition development. Whether you're concerned about environmental impact or range regulations, this ammunition delivers the performance you need without compromise.
