Liberty Civil Defense .38 Special 50gr SCHP Lead-Free Defense Ammo – 20 Rounds

Loaded to standard SAAMI pressure specs, this round is safe for use in all properly maintained modern revolvers chambered in .38 Special, offering a hard-hitting alternative to traditional +P loads without the punishing recoil.

**Why Choose Liberty Civil Defense .38 Special?**

Liberty’s Civil Defense line was engineered from the ground up with performance and safety in mind. The 50-grain Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP) projectile is machined from solid copper — not lead — delivering a lightweight, environmentally responsible round that punches well above its weight class. At a blazing 1,500+ fps muzzle velocity and over 250 foot-pounds of energy, this load outperforms many heavier competing loads while generating noticeably less felt recoil and virtually no muzzle flash.

**Lead-Free & Environmentally Responsible**

The Civil Defense line features nickel-plated solid copper bullets paired with nickel-plated brass cases. The nickel finish reduces barrel fouling, promotes smooth feeding, and is credited with extending the service life of your firearm. As a fully lead-free load, it’s also an ideal choice for use in areas with non-lead ammunition regulations or for shooters who prefer to minimize lead exposure on the range.

**Designed for Personal & Home Defense**

Whether you’re carrying a snub-nose revolver for concealed carry or keeping a full-size .38 Special at the nightstand, Liberty Civil Defense delivers the stopping power you need with the manageability you want. Its fragmenting hollow point design is engineered to maximize energy transfer on soft targets while reducing the risk of over-penetration — a critical consideration for home defense scenarios.
