Liberty Civil Defense 357 Sig 50 Grain Lead-Free Fragmenting Hollow Point Ammo - 20 Rounds$39.46
Availability: In Stock
Liberty Civil Defense 357 Magnum ammunition delivers serious stopping power for defensive shooters who demand a modern, lead-free round. This 50-grain copper monolithic hollow-point load combines rapid expansion with deep, reliable penetration—exactly what matters when you're trusting a cartridge to perform. Whether you're setting up a defensive revolver or keeping a rifle chambered in .357 for home protection, Civil Defense rounds are engineered for terminal effectiveness without the environmental or range-facility concerns of traditional lead ammunition.
The design centers on a deep hollow-point that initiates rapid expansion upon impact. As the hollow-point petals shear off, they create their own wound channels while the bullet's central core continues penetrating deeper into the target. This dual-wound-track design is the kind of terminal engineering that serious defensive shooters evaluate when selecting carry ammunition. The round generates over 2,100 feet per second and delivers more than 490 foot-pounds of energy—ballistics that put real work behind the bullet's expansion characteristics.
Penetration depth matters in real-world defensive scenarios. Civil Defense ammunition achieves 12 to 14 inches of penetration in ballistic gelatin, meeting the FBI's established minimum standard for duty-rated defensive ammunition. That depth ensures the round will perform reliably whether it encounters intermediate barriers or multiple layers of clothing. Lead-free construction also means you can practice at indoor ranges without the usual restrictions, so you can stay genuinely familiar with how your gun handles this specific load.
Each box contains 20 rounds, giving you a manageable quantity for both practice and carry rotation. If you're building a dedicated defensive setup in .357 Magnum—whether wheelgun or lever-action rifle—Civil Defense is worth serious consideration.

Yes. These rounds use a copper monolithic hollow-point design with no lead, making them safe for indoor ranges with lead-free policies and reducing environmental impact when used outdoors.
Civil Defense ammunition achieves 12 to 14 inches of penetration in ballistic gelatin, which meets the FBI's established minimum penetration standard for defensive duty ammunition. This depth ensures reliable performance through clothing and intermediate barriers in real-world scenarios.
Liberty Civil Defense .357 Magnum is designed for reliable performance across standard .357 Magnum firearms. Confirm your specific gun's manual for any manufacturer recommendations, but this is a general-purpose defensive load for any .357 Magnum platform.
The deep hollow-point design causes the bullet's petals to shear off upon impact, creating additional wound channels beyond the main bullet track. The central core penetrates deeper, combining expansion and penetration in a single round.
