Liberty Civil Defense 45 ACP +P 78g Hollow-Point Ammunition 20 Per Box
Liberty Ammunition’s 45 ACP Lead Free ammunition is a 78 grain, lead free, personal defense ammo. It offers undeniable advantages over traditional jacketed hollow-point ammunition. This light bullet, high velocity round yields less felt recoil which could lead to faster recovery time between shots. It offers significant weight reduction versus traditional ammunition. For individuals, who carry a spare magazine or two, this weight reduction is significant. The concept behind Liberty’s Civil Defense Ammunition is high speed and high energy bullets which create an exceptionally large temporary stretch cavity when they hit the gel block. Due to the fragmenting nature of the Civil Defense bullet, the fragments radiate off the temporary stretch cavity and leave behind permanent damage. Unlike traditional hollow-point bullets, Civil Defense adds a level of permanence to the temporary stretch damage. Civil Defense 45 ACP Lead Free also has a deeper penetrating base component that behaves much like a traditional jacketed hollow-point bullet. Loads of this weight class seldom shows good accuracy, but Liberty’s 45 ACP Lead Free ammo has excellent accuracy. The bullet is long and has good bearing surface to contact the rifling. All of Liberty Ammunition products meet SAAMI specs.

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.
The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available.
