Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense .38 Special
The Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense .38 Special redefines the standards of personal defense ammunition with its innovative design and exceptional performance. Introduced to the Civil Defense line in 2014, this cartridge is crafted not from traditional lead but from solid copper, offering a groundbreaking shift in bullet construction.
This .38 Special round is specifically engineered for those who prioritize maximum stopping power combined with superior penetration capabilities. Despite its reduced recoil, it maintains match-grade accuracy—qualities that make it an ideal choice for both personal and home defense scenarios.
At only 50 grains, Liberty's .38 Special stands as the world's fastest and lightest lead-free self-defense ammunition available today. Its standard pressure load adheres strictly to SAAMI specifications, ensuring safety when fired from modern firearms maintained properly. With a blistering muzzle velocity exceeding 1500 feet per second (fps) and kinetic energy surpassing 250 foot-pounds of energy (FPE), this round outperforms many competitors' heavier loads by a significant margin.
Expect precision shooting with only a 2½-inch dispersion at 25 meters using a four-inch barrel—a testament to its engineering excellence. Moreover, shooters will appreciate less felt recoil compared to conventional rounds and virtually no noticeable muzzle flash upon discharge.
The nickel-plated solid copper bullets paired with nickel-plated brass cases are designed for optimal functionality across multiple applications—be it training sessions or real-world defensive situations—and are particularly advantageous in regions advocating non-lead alternatives due to environmental concerns. Additionally, these features contribute to reduced barrel fouling and improved feeding reliability while extending your firearm's life cycle.
