Civil Defense .45 ACP +P Fragmenting Hollow Point 78gr 20rd

The Civil Defense .45 ACP +P from Liberty Ammunition delivers powerful performance in a lightweight package, transforming the capabilities of this classic caliber. Each 78-grain round exits the barrel at 1,900 FPS, generating a commanding 600 foot-pounds of kinetic energy, which outperforms many traditional .45 ACP offerings while offering smoother recoil and improved handling under pressure.

Designed for control and effectiveness, this load produces 24 to 31% less felt recoil, making it easier to manage in rapid-fire defensive situations. Despite its reduced weight, the round delivers increased speed and energy on target, while significantly reducing the risk of over-penetration—ideal for use in confined spaces or populated environments.

On impact, the projectile’s internal cavity fills with fluid, builds hydraulic pressure, and ruptures, creating rifle-sized temporary cavities and hydrostatic shock. The bullet then fragments into a starburst pattern, producing multiple wound channels and maximizing threat-stopping potential with a terminal effect of 4½" wide by 12" deep.

Each box includes 20 rounds of lead-free, copper monolithic, nickel-plated ammunition, fully compliant with California regulations. With unmatched energy, cleaner shooting, and faster follow-ups, the Civil Defense .45 ACP +P is a cutting-edge solution for those who rely on their sidearm for serious defense.
