Compared To Other Top Self-Defense Rounds

  • - More stopping power
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. 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 cavity fills with body fluid, the hydraulic pressure builds until the side walls of the projectile rupture. Having a lighter projectile also leads to less muzzle flip for faster follow up shots.

Perfect for pocket carry

August 23, 2026

Ive carried a LCP .380 for work for a while now and back then the ammo options were iffy. When i heard about civil liberty i was shocked to find out the velocity and the “Lower recoil” that came with it. Purchased a box from my gun store and it ran great. Now i can carry without a thought in my mind if “this is enough”. Highly recommend for people carrying 380s.

I run civil defense in body guard 2.0 CC. I ran several different types though the weapon and im truly impressed. Thers an obvious felt recoil less filp and more rounds tighter on target. Definitely a must have!!

Thanks Justin,

Lighter recoil and tighter groupings are what we strive for.

And delivering more stopping power!
