Overview
Designed for defensive use, this .45 ACP+P load is built around a solid copper alloy hollow point and is offered in a 20-round box. It was developed to provide deeper penetration than Liberty’s Civil Defense round while still using a large hollow point cavity. The product description states a gel penetration range of 12–16 inches and notes a fragmenting design intended to create multiple wound channels. For hunters and outdoor users evaluating defensive ammunition, it presents a specialized option where controlled penetration is a key consideration.
