There are two philosophies when it comes to bullets. One that believes rapid expansion moderate penetration and weight loss is best while the other believes that moderate expansion deep penetration and virtually no weight loss is best. Both have their virtues and applications but why settle for one or the other when you can have both?Controlled Chaos bullets offer the best of both. Once fluid is impacted they shed the front portion of the bullet into multiple petals that radiate outward away from the bullets initial trajectory path resulting in a massive energy spike. The bore diameter base of the bullet continues and penetrates deeply in a straight line. Both the temporary and permanent wound cavity created by this bullet separation is dramatic resulting in quick incapacitation. The solid base creates additional tissue damage and often results in full penetration of the animal.

The Xtreme Defense (XD) Technology is based on the popular Xtreme Penetrator product line. The design goal was to achieve the same barrier performance and massive permanent wound cavity and reduce the penetration depth to coincide with an individual's personal comfort level. It was a goal we did not meet; it was a goal we blew out of the water.The XD ammunition has an optimized nose flute total weight and velocity to achieve a penetration depth range of 18 inches with a permanent wound cavity (PWC) that is just simply enormous; no other expanding hollow point comes close to achieving anywhere near this diameter and volume. Not only is the PWC over 100 percent larger than any other expanding bullet it is near barrier blind ignoring wallboard sheet metal and automotive glass.

The terminal performance achieved is quickly approaching that of 5.56 rifle performance and that is an incredible feat.

Lehigh Defense Controlled Fracturing Lead-Free Bullets 9mm .355" 105gr 750-2000 fps 50/BoxLehigh Defense originated Controlled Fracturing Technology. These bullets are designed to deliver maximum terminal performance. Controlled Fracturing bullets are produced from either solid copper or solid brass and are pre-stressed at specific points so that after a predetermined penetration depth the razor-edge petals deploy releasing an energy spike and then separate and radiate outward from the primary path of the bullet. The bullet shank now back to bore diameter continues penetrating straight and deep along the initial impact path.Unlike traditional expanding bullets which mushroom and dramatically limit the bullet's penetration and provide only one wound path Lehigh's Controlled Fracturing ammunition creates an initial energy transfer multiple wound paths and a deep penetrating base - a far more effective bullet.

The advanced technology Xtreme Defense Fluid Transfer Monolithic (XD FTM) is changing the way self-defense bullets are perceived. Like the Xtreme Penetrator the progressive nose geometry allows for deep straight penetration while creating a permanent wound cavity diameter exceeding that of most expanding bullets. Additionally the bullet is solid copper able to overcome barriers to penetration is environmentally friendly and does massive tissue damage on impact. Penetrating barriers such as drywall or heavy clothing prior to impacting the intended target doesn’t have the potentially negative effect on the Xtreme Defense that it does to conventional hollow point bullets.The nose design is the key. The Fluid Transfer’s radial flutes force the hydraulic energy inward and then as the energy is restricted it accelerates outward creating high pressure spikes severely damaging surrounding tissue. This very rapid increase in fluid flow creates cavitation and massive tissue damage away from the projectile equivalent to those of the best hollow points on the market. The result of the Xtreme Defense is a permanent wound cavity that is two to four times greater than what a flat or round nose bullet generates and often larger than traditional or solid copper expanding bullets. What you get is a self-defense bullet that will shoot through barriers without deformation or trajectory change and creates a larger permanent wound cavity coupled with the desired 18 inches of penetration. This very rapid increase in fluid flow often times creates cavitation and massive tissue damage at distances away from the projectile equivalent to the largest of hollow points on the market.

The concept of a Wide Flat Nose (WFN) projectile is nothing new or groundbreaking but it does leave room for improvement. It is a proven projectile design that has been around for many years and has successfully been utilized by hunters all over the world who demand deep and straight-line penetration for their hunt. Lehigh Defense has taken this proven technology and incorporated it into our very own lineup of improved WFN’s made of solid copper.Lead has a very high density and does a great job at penetrating deep but it lacks any real structural integrity. Lead is quite soft especially when compared to copper. Our solid copper WFN line of projectiles have a tensile strength of 10-20x greater than conventional lead projectiles. This massive increase in strength allows our WFNs to punch through the hardest of bone with little to no deformation which nearly eliminates the possibility of deflection due to the projectile deforming.
