Compared To Other Top Self-Defense Rounds

Looking for a quality 45 Colt self-defense round? You found it. No other round comes close. Far more kinetic energy, less recoil, and less over-penetration. 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 rupture. With that rupturing comes rifle sized temporary cavities and hydrostatic shock, therefore increasing stopping power by tenfold. Following the rupture, 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.

Excellent Ammo

I have used Civil Defense in many calibers during hunting season while walking to stands. Hogs, snakes, bobcats, etc. Only one shot to each.

Thanks Burt – It is an effective for the woods.

We have a huge number of folks that take us out to the fields.

Real good one shot stopper ammo

This round is fantastic 😊 and fun to shoot… My gun is single shot 45 Colt so I was carrying other rounds until I ran into this, they are definitely powerful self defense loads and nothing like it on market.

My Smith & Wesson Governor is my home defense weapon of choice. These are always going to be loaded when it’s at home and ready to protect us.

Turns my .38 into a beast, accurate and deadly with less recoil. this is the only round I will use with my .38 now, and they are made in America!

Robert

Response from Liberty Ammunition

Thanks Robert. The .38 is a BEAST!

AT 1500 feet per second and hitting at 250 ft lbs of energy, it is a great CCW round.

Thank you!

If the U.S. Special Forces asked Liberty to make them Overwatch, why look elsewhere for 9mm?

It’s like you have a 5.7, but it’s even better cause it hits harder.

Lighter magazine, lighter recoil, more accurate, double the speed, about 120 fpe more than Speer Gold dot.

Sounds even louder and creates mini explosions upon impact due to air in hollow part being trapped and bursting.

Best 9mm in today’s world. I’m surprised DEA, FBI, and other Agencies haven’t adopted this yet as their duty round.

Oh and zero pass through.

Response from Liberty Ammunition

David,

We agree with you. Some folks and departments are stuck in the past with their ammo selection.

We’ve been developing ammo since 2005 and people cannot wrap their head around a 9mm going 1750 feet per second, being lighter to carry and hitting harder.

And yep…..reduced recoil AND less chance of over-penetration.

Thank you for summing it up in your note!

Excellent carry ammo

May 12, 2025

I have several sizes of carry pistols, and the ones I use the most are shorter barrels. Most people don’t ever ask if they make enough velocity to even get a hollow point to work. These are the answer. It checks all the boxes, velocity, massive damage, no over penetration, and carries like a feather due to its weight. By far my favorite edc. I have zero concerns with how my ammo will function in my full sizes or micros.

Jesse Crayton

Response from Liberty Ammunition

Thanks Jesse,

You are absolutely right….most people don’t even know if their ammo will work properly.

Hollow-points only create a temporary wound channel (btw-those “petals” bend backwards).

Ours ruptures and creates a devastating permanent wound.

We appreciate you carrying Liberty ammunition!

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.
