Questions & Answers
Although it does not say so on the box, is this nickel plated brass? The casings appear to be nickel plated. Expert Answer

Liberty Ammunition does not state if the Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense .45 Long Colt case is nickel plated brass though it appears to be. I recommend contacting Liberty Ammunition to confirm that information.

Will this be a good defensive round out a Bond Arms 3.5 snakeslayer? What length Barrel are the ballistics done on this ammo? Expert Answer

The manufacturer does not state what test barrel length was used with the testing of this ammo. For that information I recommend contacting Liberty Ammunition. This ammo should also work fine with a Bond Arms Snakeslayer.

Product Info for Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense .45 Long Colt 78 grain Hollow Point Centerfire Pistol Ammunition

If you're looking for a quality 45 Colt self-defence round, you found it. No other round comes close. Far more kinetic energy, less recoil, and less over-penetration.image

The Civil Defense 45 Colt rounds consistently stay within standard pressure ratings. They are safe in any antiques or specialty revolvers.

Our projectiles function differently than any other self-defense round on the market. We designed the Civil Defense line to eliminate threats with one round. We did this by creating the maximum amount of damage and tissue disruption possible. 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.
