The LACD10032 by Liberty Ammunition comprises Civil Defense rounds which are engineered specifically for the achievement of superior stopping power (kinetic energy) and terminal impact (wound cavity/lethality), making them matchless when compared to any other handgun ammo. The Civil Defense series is perfect for personal defense since it is devoid of lead and instead utilizes a monolithic, fragmenting projectile made of nickel-plated copper integrated with a deep cavity hollow point housed in a nickel-plated (brass) cartridge case.Unique to traditional lead-based ammo, the Civil Defense line has the capability to travel at nearly double the speed and transfers 30 to 40% higher kinetic energy, thus resulting in its position at the top of leading ammunition.
