Liberty Civil Defense 45 Colt (Long Colt) 78 Grain Lead-Free Fragmenting Hollow Point Ammo - 20 Rounds

Liberty Civil Defense 45 Colt ammunition delivers a distinctly modern approach to handgun self-defense. Built around a lead-free, monolithic nickel-plated copper projectile, these rounds are engineered for serious terminal performance in a classic revolver caliber. Each 20-round box contains 78-grain hollow points loaded to 1800 fps and 560 foot-pounds of muzzle energy—ballistics designed to maximize energy transfer and wound cavity on target.

The Civil Defense line stands apart because it prioritizes velocity and energy management over conventional lead-based designs. The fragmenting hollow-point construction is intended to create rapid energy dissipation, and the nickel-plated brass casing adds corrosion resistance and reliable feeding. This is serious ammunition for shooters who rely on their .45 Colt revolver for personal defense and want terminal performance built into every round.

Whether you're running a Ruger Blackhawk for backcountry protection, keeping a cowboy-action revolver close at home, or training with a classic wheelgun, Liberty Civil Defense rounds deliver the ballistics and construction quality that define modern defense ammunition. Lead-free construction also makes these suitable for ranges with environmental restrictions.
