Xtreme Defense Projectiles Loaded into 45 ACP Underwood Ammo

We welcome the 45 ACP to our Xtreme Defense, (XD) Product Line. Our Xtreme Defense Technology is based upon our proven Xtreme Penetrator product line, but we modified our Patented Nose Design to reduce the penetration to between 15 and 19 inches, depending on the barrier. The bullet outperforms all other bullet designs by offering truly barrier-blind performance, with excellent wound channels, and almost 100% weight retention. It does all of this while maintaining its flight path, post barrier, with extremely low recoil energy.

The gel shot shown below demonstrates the devistating performance of the 45 ACP XD through 4 layers of denim. You can see just how massive the wound channel is due to the incredible amount of radial hydraulic energy that is being produced.

We took our testing a step further, we put the 45 ACP XD through the FBI Protocol for bullet testing. The results are recorded below. Read more

SAF: Garland Nomination Should Be Rejected


BELLEVUE, WA – The founder of the Second Amendment Foundation today said that the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Barack Obama should be rejected.

SAF Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, reacting to this morning’s announcement, was blunt: “This is not a good nomination and Judge Garland should not be confirmed.”

President Obama nominated Garland, who is the chief judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, to fill the seat left vacant by the untimely death of Justice Antonin Scalia, author of the landmark 2008 Second Amendment ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller. Scalia was considered a giant on the court and one of its finest conservative voices.

On the other hand, “Judge Garland voted to grant an en banc hearing to Heller after the three judge panel struck down the District of Columbia’s gun ban law. The only reason to do so would be to overturn the pro Second Amendment ruling. That was hostile to gun rights.” Read more
