Product Info for Liberty .45 ACP +P 78 grain Lead-Free Hollow Point Brass Cased Pistol Ammunition

For a long time shooters have been in love with the power of the 45 ACP. However, until recently, 45 ACP rounds have been very heavy and hard to control. Thankfully, that is no longer a problem. The Civil Defense 45 ACP only weighs 78 grains. Despite only weighing 78 grains, it still has more kinetic energy than almost any other 45 ACP round on the market. The Civil Defense 45 ACP is more convenient and more effective than any other 45 ACP round out right now. The projectiles function differently than any other self-defense round on the market. Liberty Ammunition designed the Civil Defense line to eliminate threats with one round. They do well against barriers, but when the large cavity fills with fluid, the hydraulic pressure builds until the side walls of the projectile explode. With that explosion comes rifle-sized temporary cavities and hydrostatic shock, therefore increasing stopping power by tenfold. Following the explosion, the bullet fragments into a starburst-shaped pattern creating multiple wound channels. This process also benefits in many other areas across the spectrum of things considered when talking about self-defense. Such as reduced over-penetration and lessening the risk of unintended casualties. Having a lighter projectile also leads to less muzzle flip for faster follow up shots. At 25 meters, civil defense achieves less than 2 inches of dispersion, 12 inches of penetration and a wound cavity greater than 5 inches in diameter.image
