Liberty Civil Defense 40 S&W 60gr Hollow-point Ammunition 20 Per Box
Liberty Ammunition’s 40 S&W Lead Free Ammunition is a lead free round, ideal for personal defense and law enforcement. Liberty Ammunition uses an aggressive hollow point bullet of lower mass, but dramatically increases bullet velocity resulting in very aggressive fragmentation with a high kinetic energy component. Reducing the bullet, mass and increasing velocity also has the added benefit of keeping chamber pressures manageable.
Liberty Civil Defense ammunition is a high velocity, extremely accurate load designed for self-defense. The 60 Grain Lead-Free Fragmenting Hollow Point bullet travels at 2000 feet per second, resulting in 10 inches of ballistic gel penetration. This light bullet, high velocity round yields less felt recoil. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, and requires no weapons modifications.
The 40 S&W Lead Free load averaged 1989 fps out of the Glock 22. From the SIG P226, the velocity was slightly less at 1978 fps. This works out to be 527 ft-lbs and 521 ft-lbs of energy respectively. These velocities come very close to the stated velocity of 2000 fps.
Even though the velocities were much higher than one would normally achieve in these calibers, the felt recoil did not seem to be any more than other ammunition. In 40 S&W Lead Free ammunition, the recoil actually felt less than other self-defense ammo.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
Designed by Winchester and introduced by Winchester and Smith & Wesson in 1990, the 40 S&W was designed as a "compromise" semiautomatic pistol cartridge that would offer more performance than the 9mm Luger (9x19)…but would produce less recoil and allow higher magazine capacity than the 45 ACP. Few compromises in the firearms world have ever worked as well. From a manufacturing standpoint many pistols designed for the 9mm could be re-engineered to handle the larger cartridge; in a short time it has become a standard issue in the law enforcement community. Using a .400-inch bullet of from 135 to 180 grains from a .850-inch cae, the .40 S&W produces up to 1205 fps, and although recoil is greater than the 9mm, it is easier to shoot than the 45 ACP, and its greater velocity and smaller bullet diameter aid penetration.
