Ammo Test: Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense 9mm and .45 ACP

{ 23 comments }

Taking the idea of “light and fast” model to new levels, the Civil Defense projectiles weigh in at well under half that same caliber traditional bullets. For example, the 9mm projectile weighs just 50 grains. Compare that to 115 or 124 grains for common 9mm defense rounds.
