Underwood's Xtreme Defender .45 ACP+P ammunition features a 135-grain solid copper bullet designed for superior penetration and permanent wound cavity. Loaded to 1335 fps with nickel-plated brass cases. 20 rounds per box.
The Xtreme Defender represents a significant advancement in self-defense ammunition design. Built on proven engineering principles, this round combines a solid copper projectile with optimized ballistics to deliver consistent, reliable performance when it matters most.
The solid copper construction ensures consistent performance regardless of barriers. Unlike traditional hollow-point designs that can fail when passing through intermediate barriers, the Xtreme Defender maintains its wound-creating capability even after penetrating wallboard, sheet metal, or automotive glass.
The optimized nose flute geometry is engineered to create a permanent wound cavity significantly larger than competing expanding ammunition, while maintaining penetration depths up to 18 inches—the depth recommended by leading ballistics researchers.
Nickel-plated brass casings provide multiple advantages: improved feeding reliability across all firearm actions, superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional brass, enhanced cosmetics, and easier cleanup during reloading. The nickel plating prevents tarnishing during storage and resists degradation from contact with leather, moisture, and other metals.
This ammunition is purpose-built for self-defense applications where reliability and performance are non-negotiable.
