Compared To Other Top Self-Defense Rounds

  • - 34 to 39% less felt recoil
  • - 70 to 95% more velocity
  • - 5 to 23% more kinetic energy
  • - Reduced over-penetration
  • - More stopping power
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 flips for faster follow-up shots. All of our rounds are also lead-free and California-compliant.

Recoil usually doesn’t bother me much, but 160 grain bullets out of my Kahr PM40 were just uncomfortable. This ammo makes the little gun fun to shoot. I won’t go back. Accurate with excellent performance.

As someone that has implemented this ammo in a critical situation, I will say that I will never carry anything for protection that is not loaded with this ammo. It did its job. PERIOD!!!!

I am THAT one.

Enjoyable round to shoot.

Really enjoy these light bullet rounds. 105 grain had been the lightest to be found in .40 S & W for a long time. My carry weapon is an Interarms Firestar in .40 and recoil is noticeably less than the heavier bullets normally available in that round and has led to tighter 7 shot groups.

Keep up the great work!

Hunting with the .300 Blackout Animal instinct

Rated 5.0 out of 5

I’ve been using the Animal Instinct on a bunch of deer and hog hunts now. These absolutely do not disappoint, and in fact these rounds have turned the heads of some seriously experienced hunters in my family. Out of 6 deer and 1 hog I have yet to have an animal go more than 10 yards.

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.
