Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defender 9mm 90 gr – Superior Penetration & Barrier Blind Technology
The Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defender 9mm 90 gr is a revolutionary self-defense round, featuring a solid copper bullet with a unique fluted design. Unlike traditional hollow points, this round doesn’t rely on expansion to create wound channels. Instead, it uses fluid dynamics to create a larger permanent wound cavity while maintaining superior barrier penetration.
This design ensures consistent performance through barriers like glass, drywall, and heavy clothing. The lightweight 90-grain bullet delivers extremely fast velocities and reduces the risk of over-penetration. Its non-expanding nature also increases reliability and ensures consistent terminal ballistics in any environment.
Key Features:
- Caliber: 9mm Luger – Standard 9mm for use in most handguns and carbines.
- Bullet Weight: 90 gr – Lightweight bullet for faster velocities and lower recoil.
- Bullet Type: Solid Copper Projectile – Precision-machined from copper for superior performance.
- Barrier-Blind Performance: Penetrates glass, drywall, and heavy clothing without deformation.
- Fluted Tip Design: Uses fluid dynamics to create a larger wound channel, unlike hollow points.
- Consistent Wound Cavity: Maintains effectiveness even after barrier penetration.
- Reduced Over-Penetration: Ensures safety for bystanders in self-defense scenarios.
- Lead-Free Construction: Environmentally friendly and compliant with lead-free range regulations.

Benefits of Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defender 9mm 90 gr
- Unparalleled Barrier Performance: Unlike hollow points, the fluted tip design maintains its shape after penetrating barriers like auto glass, sheet metal, and heavy clothing.
- Massive Wound Channels: Uses fluid dynamics instead of expansion, creating a larger wound channel and increasing stopping power.
- Consistent Terminal Performance: Performs predictably, even in extreme conditions, with no risk of bullet clogging (unlike hollow points).
- High-Velocity Power: The 90-grain bullet produces velocities of 1,400 to 1,500 fps, generating impressive energy transfer.
- Reduced Over-Penetration: Unlike full-metal jacket (FMJ) bullets, it stays within the target, reducing the risk of bystander injury.
- Eco-Friendly Design: Solid copper construction is lead-free, making it safe for use at indoor and environmentally friendly shooting ranges.
How It Works:
The Xtreme Defender bullet doesn’t rely on expansion like traditional hollow points. Instead, it uses a patented fluted design that forces fluid (like body tissue) away from the bullet’s path, creating a larger permanent wound cavity. This fluid displacement creates a more substantial wound track without relying on the unpredictable nature of expansion.
Its solid copper construction makes it immune to deformation, allowing it to punch through tough barriers like auto glass, drywall, and heavy clothing while maintaining its shape. This is why it’s called a “barrier blind” round — it doesn’t change shape, ensuring consistent terminal ballistics in any situation.
Best Uses:
- Self-Defense: Ideal for personal protection in public areas due to its low over-penetration risk.
- Concealed Carry (CCW): Compact, lightweight, and barrier-blind, perfect for everyday carry.
- Home Defense: The bullet remains effective after penetrating walls, but its design minimizes risk to bystanders.
- Duty Use: Law enforcement officers trust the barrier-blind capability for duty use.
FAQs:
1. Is this round better than hollow points for self-defense?
Yes, Xtreme Defender bullets outperform traditional hollow points because they don’t rely on expansion. This allows them to create larger wound cavities while maintaining barrier-blind performance.
2. Can this ammo penetrate through auto glass and still be effective?
Yes, its barrier-blind design ensures it retains its shape and penetration after passing through auto glass, unlike hollow points which may deform.
3. Will this ammo over-penetrate the target?
The fluted design directs energy outward to create larger wound channels while reducing over-penetration. It stops more effectively within the target.
4. Can I use this ammo at an indoor range?
Yes, since it’s made of solid copper, it’s 100% lead-free and safe for use at lead-free shooting ranges.
5. Is this ammo reloadable?
Yes, the brass casings are reloadable, but the solid copper projectiles are not reusable.
