Lehigh Xtreme Defense .429 125gr Monolithic Handgun Bullets
Lehigh's Xtreme Defense 125gr solid copper monolithic bullets for .429 caliber handguns deliver barrier-defeating performance with massive wound cavities and 18 inches of penetration. Lead-free and environmentally responsible.
Lehigh Xtreme Defense: Redefining Self-Defense Performance
The Xtreme Defense Fluid Transfer Monolithic (XD FTM) represents a fundamental shift in how modern self-defense ammunition performs. These 125-grain solid copper bullets combine barrier penetration with devastating wound creation—a combination that separates them from conventional hollow points.
Key Design Features
Progressive Nose Geometry The distinctive nose design incorporates radial flutes that manage hydraulic energy with precision. As the bullet impacts tissue, these flutes force fluid inward, then accelerate it outward under pressure, creating severe cavitation and tissue damage well beyond the projectile's path.
Barrier Performance Unlike traditional expanding bullets, the Xtreme Defense maintains its integrity when passing through intermediate barriers—drywall, heavy clothing, or vehicle glass. The monolithic copper construction ensures consistent penetration and trajectory without deformation.
Wound Cavity Excellence The permanent wound cavity produced by the Xtreme Defense is two to four times larger than flat or round-nose bullets, and often exceeds that of traditional expanding bullets. You get the stopping power you need with the penetration depth (approximately 18 inches) that professionals demand.
Why Choose Monolithic Copper?
- Lead-free construction meets environmental standards and range requirements
- Solid copper design overcomes barriers without performance loss
- Consistent performance across varying target media
- Proven reliability in real-world defensive scenarios
These are serious bullets for serious purposes. The Xtreme Defense delivers the performance characteristics that matter when it counts.
