The Liberty Civil Defense 9mm +P 20-round box (Liberty part no. LACD9014) is a self-defense cartridge from Liberty Ammunition built around a very light projectile. Liberty designed the Civil Defense line to cause maximum tissue disruption with one round, and says the large cavity fills with fluid until the projectile’s side walls rupture. The 50-grain weight also means less muzzle flip. It suits carry and home defense in a 9mm pistol rated for +P, and it comes in a 20-round box.
