Compared To Other Top Self-Defense Rounds

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.

I shot the 50 grain 357 Magnum rounds through my little Smith & Wesson 360 J frame. I was very impressed with how minimal the recoil was. Huge difference between regular 158 grain 357 Magnum target loads. The Liberty 50 grain 357 recoil feels like a regular 38 load. This is definitely my carry self defense round!!

Thanks Rich, and we hit harder than those heavy and slow rounds.

Word is getting out thanks to folks like you.

We appreciate it.

What about at point blank range?

Does it behave the same if the target is within inches or closer to the shot?

Response from Liberty Ammunition

Jose, the performance is driven by speed of the bullet.

Performance should not change, but hopefully you are not needing our bullet at point blank range.

Accuracy is improved and is in a carry in weapon as we speak. 5 shot , yes better than six without.

I stumbled across these at an auction some years back taped to the box of ammo I THOUGHT I was buying. After reading about them, I blew it off as just another gimmicky round that wouldn’t deliver on the hype. Finally, I decided to test them at an outdoor range a year or two ago. Absolutely devastating terminal ballistics, and yet they stop where they’re supposed to….in the target. Insane velocity in an unbelievably light round without any noticeable increase in felt recoil. It’s all my wife and I will use anymore, and I’ve even hooked a couple friends on it after they’ve tried a couple rounds. Great company, awesome round, dependable results, what more needs said?

MORE INFORMATION

Our 380 Civil Defense Rounds Changed The Pocket Pistol Game. For A Long Time, Everyone Criticized The 380 ACP For Not Having Enough Kinetic Energy. That’s Not The Case Anymore. Our 380 Is One Of Our Most Sought After Rounds Because It Packs Enough Punch, It Gets The Job Done.
