The Liberty Civil Defense .357 Magnum 50gr Fragmenting HP (Liberty part no. LACD357030) is a .357 Magnum load stepping up a 50-grain Fragmenting HP for personal defense and everyday carry. Liberty builds this load for shooters who carry every day and need a bullet that performs on the first shot. At just 50 grains, the Civil Defense bullet leaves the muzzle far faster than a standard-weight round and is engineered to fragment violently on impact, dumping its energy in the first few inches of tissue rather than continuing to penetrate. For handgun ammunition, this is a carry-and-forget load for the nightstand, the holster, or the range bag.
