The 45 Long Colt may be a piece of traditional American technology, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be updated for the 21st century. Case in point: Liberty Ammunition’s Civil Defense series ammo, which delivers decisive results with impressively little accompanying recoil!

This self-defense cartridge’s bullet is abnormally light at 78 grains because it is made of solid copper. The lead-free SCHP picks up enough momentum to clear muzzle at an astounding rate of 1,800 fps – without producing above-standard chamber pressure as a result. Liberty boasts that this ammo is safe for antique and specialty revolvers.

This round’s featherweight bullet produces about 18 to 38% less felt recoil. That will help you fire off shots faster and with greater accuracy, as you’ll have less muzzle flip to compensate for each time you squeeze the trigger. Liberty reports that this round’s bullet reliably penetrates to a depth of 12”. It also creates an enormous 4.5” wide wound channel, because the SCHP doesn’t merely expand. The bullet’s sidewalls burst outward in a starburst-shaped pattern, thus inflicting multiple injurious wound channels while simultaneously reducing (but not eliminating) the risk of striking innocent bystanders positioned behind the threat.

This American-made ammunition is adorned with nickel-plated brass cases. Nickel protects against corrosion, and it also reduces friction so you can empty your cylinder out and fill it back up again in a hurry.

Posted On: 8/3/2024 By: Philip

A: Hi Philip! I can't promise any kind of performance out of a firearm I haven't personally inspected and tested. That said, I foresee no reason why this ammo shouldn't function correctly in your Brawler.

Q: Can I use this 78 grain bullet in an Uberti .45cal Cattleman Revolver?

Posted On: 11/28/2023 By: David

A: Yes sir! This cartridge's bullet is unusually light – and its muzzle velocity is unusually high – but it still falls within the paramaters of SAAMI's standard specs. A 45 Colt Uberti Cattleman should handle it just fine.
