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 flips for faster follow-up shots. All of our rounds are also lead-free and California-compliant.

What introduced me to civil defense was the gun sales clerk. I asked whats the best hollow point bullets to carry. He told me what you all are talking about over a year later.Have cheaper Hornaty.Those I think are 1150fps so the Civil is in the chamber instead.Hope to never ever have 2 use gun sept for Target practice days.Great job Liberty stay safe you all 🙂

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!

I get a new box each year and shoot the old ones and reload my various 45acp pistols to keep the ammo fresh and a little training on my home defense pistols. The lighter recoil is great for my XDs 4″ 45, which means if I need a second shot I know it won’t be hard to do. And after seeing for myself the performance of them, it helped me at the time as a salesman at a gun shop to sell lots of them. Easy to sell something that you trust.

A little loud but a whole lot of LIGHTER recoil. AMAZING AMMO

I love this 357 Sig ammo out of my G35 threaded conversion barrel. The reduced recoil is so drastic it is almost funny. Follow up shots are faster due to the light recoil. It really is VERY noticeable.

This is the only self-defense ammo I will be running now. I am going to purchase more and more in every caliber I have. I am a LEO and would love to switch to this on duty. That’s how impressed I am!!!

The magazines are lighter, and ounces make pounds! Functioned flawlessly in a BRAND-NEW drop-in barrel too. I really can’t say enough good things about this ammo.

PS-I RARELY leave reviews, but this ammo/company deserved it. Thank you, Liberty. I am looking forward to purchasing more and more.

I won’t get into nitty-gritty as I don’t want to open up that can of worms. That said… I was in a self defense situation in which I was compelled to use lethal force. This was the ammo I was carrying in my G2C. Perhaps it was just shot placement, perhaps it was the sheer speed causing immense hydrostatic shock, but my assailant was laid to rest in one shot, center mass. He dropped to the ground instantly. Thank you, Liberty, for making a product that does exactly what it claims to.

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.
