Liberty Ammunition Spike 380 ACP 55 Grain Solid Hollow Point Personal Defense Ammunition (MPN: LASPI2380551500)
Product Description
Concealed carry defenders relying on subcompact ultra-lightweight pistols chambered in .380 Auto face a persistent, dangerous mechanical hurdle: traditional heavy defensive loads produce sluggish velocities out of short barrels, often resulting in failed terminal expansion or excessive recoil that hinders rapid follow-up alignments. Standard pocket rounds overpenetrate or under-expand entirely. Liberty Ammunition shatters this ballistic performance bottleneck with their Spike Series personal protection line, engineering an ultra-lightweight, maximum-velocity solid copper projectile that maximizes deep hydraulic shock wave damage while significantly mitigating snappy pocket-pistol recoil.
Proudly manufactured in the USA, this highly advanced centerfire cartridge features a specialized 55-grain Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP) projectile. Machined entirely from premium lead-free solid copper alloy, the bullet profile integrates an exceptionally deep, wide nose cavity. Upon striking a soft target, this geometry forces the bullet to fragment immediately along pre-engineered stress lines, creating a massive permanent wound cavity and transferring 100% of its kinetic energy instantly to neutralize threats. Every cartridge is loaded into premium nickel-plated brass shell cases, which provide natural corrosion resistance against body heat and moisture during long-term concealed carry while slicking up mechanical feed dynamics inside subcompact micro-pistols.
On the range and in defensive deployments, this high-speed load redefines .380 Auto ballistics by delivering rifle-like velocity scaling from a handgun platform. Screaming out of the barrel at an astonishing 1,500 FPS with 275 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, the ultra-light 55-grain mass prints an incredibly flat trajectory path. Because kinetic energy scales exponentially with velocity rather than mass, this cartridge hits with authoritative hydrostatic shock while drastically reducing the mechanical muzzle flip common in featherweight carry platforms. Packaged in a specialized 20-round box layout, it stands out as the ultimate modern choice for everyday backup defense caching, low-light diagnostics, and maximum concealed security readiness.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Tactical Shipping Restrictions: Handgun ammunition procurement regulations strictly apply. All purchasers must be 21 years of age or older and assume full legal responsibility for complying with all federal, state, and local ordinances. Due to standard freight transit rules, ammunition cannot be shipped via air or delivered to Alaska, Hawaii, or US territories. Deliveries heading to California and New York must route directly through a licensed FFL dealer or registered ammunition vendor. Residents of Illinois must provide a valid FOID card alongside a matching state ID prior to order processing, and local delivery prohibitions impact specific jurisdictions within Illinois (including Chicago), Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. Technical Guidance: The nickel-plated casings offer exceptional slickness on small extractors, but because the 55gr projectile travels at hyper-velocity, always verify that your micro-compact carry pistol is kept clear of heavy lint or pocket debris to prevent slide timing drag.
