Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense 10mm Auto

    Liberty Ammunition is introducing 10mm Auto into its Civil Defense Line of ammo. The lead-free ammo features approximately twice the velocity, three times the terminal effect, 30% more energy and less felt recoil. The ammo is nickel-plated, has solid copper projectiles and nickel-plated brass cases. The projectile is designed to fragment in soft tissue, resulting in a much greater transfer of kinetic energy to the target. Due to the proprietary design of the projectile and its solid copper construction, Liberty states that the round provides exceptional performance on hard targets such as drywall, car doors, auto glass and leather/denim without sacrificing any performance in soft tissue.

    Liberty’s tests at their production facility showed the ammo achieved velocities greater than 2,400 FPS (nearly double that of standard 10mm ammo).

    Tom is a former Navy Corpsman that spent some time bumbling around the deserts of Iraq with a Marine Recon unit, kicking in tent flaps and harassing sheep. Prior to that he was a paramedic somewhere in DFW, also doing some Executive Protection work between shifts. Now that those exciting days are behind him, he teaches wilderness medicine and runs an on-demand medical staffing business. He hopes that his posts will help you find solid gear that will survive whatever you can throw at it–he is known (in certain circles) for his curse…ahem, ability…to find the breaking point of anything.
