    Alaskan Ballistics Channel chrono'd the Liberty 60gr Civil Defense out of a Glock 20 with a 6.5" KKM barrel and got over 2,600FPS out of it! That's literally short barreled AR speed with a 60gr bullet. Insane

      @@phil2082 On a sidenote, the Liberty 10mm out of a 6.5" KKM barrel does better than the longer AR barrel because the Liberty burns its powder faster and more efficiently. 5.56 uses powders made for rifle length barrels, which need that extra space to build up pressure. It's just reloading 101.

    I’ve shot literally hundreds of hogs with my 10mm and the speed they drop with liberty Ammo from chest shots is as fast or faster most of the time than 6.5 Grendel out of my sbr. No other handgun ammo does this unless it is over 1900 fps. The internal bleeding and damage is so much greater than the slow ammo It’s insane. Hydrostatic shock causes real damage at 2kish+ velocities.

      It's much like reports from civilian contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, who were not subject to the military's ban on anything but Full Metal Jacket ammunition.
      They reported almost universal one-shot kills with 5.56x45 rounds using anything from soft-points to V-Max.
      The terrorists complained about it, so the politicians tried to put a stop to it (I'm not sure what came about there).
      IED's by the enemy are fine, but bullets capable of stopping that enemy is forbidden.

      i mean think about it. ~18 rounds of 147 grain vs 18 rounds of 50 grain ... That 147 grain is 3 times the weight of 50 grain so yea its 3 times lighter BUT much more effective in the hurt.
      I was always told to use 147 grain for defense, bigger bullet = more knock down. I used Hornady XTP 147 grain but that was under 1000 fps ...
      After seeing this 50 grain at 2500 FPS with the damage it does .. No brainer.

      Yes and no. Frangible ammo is designed to turn into a cloud of coarse dust when it hits a hard surface. I.e. if a sky marshal uses it inside an airliner, it is not supposed to penetrate the fuselage. If you shoot it in a residence, it shouldn't penetrate a hard wall. It goes well beyond fragmentation.

The likely reason is because they're made using a material that is too delicate to stand the speeds of a normal load so they reduced the powder amount.

      If you are looking for a dedicated AP round in 9mm, look into the "Dagny Dagger" project from Atlas arms. It is entirely civi legal and will absolutely cut right through soft armor reliably. It may even cut through hardened layered kevlar plates and high density poly plates. I won't post a link since YT seems to be really funny about links now and would most likely hide this comment.
      Unfortunately, I believe they are looking for a spring 2022 release so you won't be able to get your hands on any just yet. But it's still worth keeping an eye on.

    I have hunted with all of these rounds. They have exited deer and hogs like nothing and the entrance wound was the worst I have ever seen. The blood loss this round causes is extraordinary. I have also hunted with federal hst and other jhp and they perform nothing like these rounds, the energy simply tears a massive hole thru bone and other organs. I don’t carry anything but these. And much more reliable over the years than sig vcrowns or rip rounds. And not to mention liberty is lighter with much less recoil for follow up shots (if needed)

      This is a personal defense round; not for an explosive paper punch or bear stopper. I would say bare clear ballistic is a scientific wild ass guess [SWAG] The swag factor is from my observation that 15-21" in clear ballistic is almost comparable to 12-18" of FBI pig gel at 39 degrees with a heavy clothing simulation. Fragmenting ammo is not challenged the same as clothing does to jacketed hollow point.. Personally, I'd rather have a .729 caliber 400 grain steel ball moving at 671 fps, but that is not legal from a handgun.

    I stumbled upon these from another channel a few yrs back. I choose to go with these over the RIP rounds cause it fragments better the the RIP rounds and are considerably cheaper. Ive seen tons of gel block test on diff JHP and these by far are the nastiest/best I've seen. If your able to slow rhe video down or check around and see the temporary wound channel compared to not only the permanent wound channel, but the size compared to any other JHP is insane.

      These are so much better than rip. They dont have a sketchy name if you have to use them and not look good in court, they do more consistent damage (the rip rounds really just have the small tracks from each petal. The civil defense just blows a fucking a huge tunnel and THEN flowers petals), the civil defense seems to also fragment deeper, and then has a consistent core that seems to always go to 11” from .380 through basically everything bigger

    @1:00 The "Ultra-Light" line is actually slightly different. It uses the same bullets as the Civil Defense, but with a new type of hybrid case that improves strength and reduces weight. The Ultra-Light cases come from Shell Shock Technologies. The pistol cases use an aluminum base/rim, while the rifle cases use stainless steel, and the case walls are made of a nickel alloy instead of brass. They say this provides a lot of benefits, and I can believe it. From an engineering standpoint, it seems way superior to standard brass.

    I have used that ammo but ultimately went with underwood extreme penetrators or gold dors over the civil defense was mainly due to when you are on the range training you shoot 115 or 224 ball ammo or hollow points which are point of aim point of impact(pretty much). But the civil defense being a lighter projectile will have a totally different point of point of impact even at 7yds. So under stress you will not have time to think about having to correct a shot to make it hit and you will be even farther off the more distance you have. I have not tried the 5.56 so I cannot speak for that but i would definately compare it to what you zeroed the rifle with. Just my 2 coppers worth of experience anyways happy and healthy new year to you and your family. Keep up the good work
