Liberty Ammunition continues the “Comparison Series” with statistical comparison to SIG Elite V-Crown personal defense ammunition.
Gary Ramey – CEO of Liberty Ammunition noted “Sig is a premier manufacturer of firearms with a broad line of ammunition. But when it comes to self-defense ammo performance, Liberty Ammunition is lighter to carry and hits harder. A lot harder.”
Ramey added “Bullet weight is a core reason some departments are doing T&E with Liberty Ammo. For key self-defense calibers like .380, 9mm and 45 ACP, Liberty is not only lighter to carry, but faster and hits harder. Liberty’s energy is not only higher, but the bullet rupture delivers all the energy and that is critical.”
9mm
Liberty Civil Defense is 60% lighter and with hits with 24% more energy than Sig.

If you want ammo that is lighter to carry and more effective, choose Liberty Ammo.

SAAMI calculates projectile kinetic energy in foot pounds. The SAAMI calculation is: E=(W*V2)/(14000*gc). (W=weight of projectile, in grains; V = velocity, in feet per second; gc= gravitational constant, 32.174 ft/s2)
