Liberty Ammunition Ultra-Light .380 ACP 50 Grain Lead-Free Monolithic Solid Hollow Point (MPN: LAUL380055)
Concealed carry permit holders, off-duty officers, and personal defense strategists relying on micro-compact .380 ACP handguns face a unique tactical hurdle: standard heavy lead loads generate sluggish short-barrel velocities, noticeable muzzle flip, and increased carrying weight in lightweight pocket holsters. Liberty Ammunition engineered their Ultra-Light 50-grain Monolithic Solid Copper Hollow Point (CHP) load specifically to solve these micro-compact defensive limitations. Purpose-built to maximize velocity while cutting total ammo carry weight, this high-performance defensive cartridge delivers blistering speed, explosive hydro-static pressure, and ultra-soft recoil downrange.
Precision CNC-machined from 100% solid copper, the 50-grain monolithic projectile is completely lead-free and engineered with a deep, pre-fragmented hollow point cavity. Upon impacting fluid tissue at extreme speed, the front cavity expands rapidly and fragments into sharp copper shards that fan out radially. Simultaneously, the solid copper base core continues driving forward into target vital zones. This dual-action terminal mechanism maximizes permanent wound volume while preventing full pass-through over-penetration in urban home defense environments.
Out on the range or in high-stress personal defense encounters, expect explosive muzzle velocity, flat short-range flight paths, and remarkably mild felt recoil. Propelling its 50-grain solid copper bullet at high velocities out of standard short-barrel concealed carry handguns, this Ultra-Light load drastically reduces muzzle flip to enable lightning-fast follow-up shot placement. Liberty Ammunition seats these high-tech projectiles in nickel-plated brass cases charged with low-flash propellants and non-corrosive boxer primers, ensuring slick feed-ramp transition, superior holster corrosion resistance, and preserved night vision during low-light defense encounters.
Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance
Shipping Restrictions: Ammunition sales are strictly regulated. Check all state and local laws prior to ordering. Fully compliant with lead-free ammunition mandates. Cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. Must ship via ORM-D / Hazardous Ground transport.
Armorer Tip: Monolithic solid copper projectiles are significantly lighter than traditional lead-core bullets. The ultra-lightweight 50gr payload generates high muzzle velocity with exceptionally light felt recoil, which helps reduce shooter fatigue and muzzle flip in pocket-sized pistols (like the Ruger LCP, Sig P238, or Glock 42). Periodically inspect magazine feed lips and wipe down nickel-plated cases to maintain 100% cycling reliability in everyday carry firearms.
Key Features
