NORMA SELF DEFENSE .45 AUTO 118 GR NXD | 20 ROUNDS

The Norma NXD .45 Auto 118 gr is a high-velocity, non-expanding self-defense round engineered for serious stopping power and deep penetration—without the risks of over-penetration or clogged hollow points. Featuring a unique fluted solid projectile, this round leverages fluid displacement to create large, consistent wound channels while retaining structural integrity.

Unlike conventional hollow points, the NXD design uses a solid copper fluted bullet that channels tissue fluids at 1.5–2x impact velocity, transferring more energy into surrounding tissue. The result: superior terminal effect, controlled penetration, and enhanced reliability, even through barriers and heavy clothing.

At 1,368 fps muzzle velocity and delivering 490 ft-lbs of energy, this lightweight 118 grain projectile offers flatter trajectories, faster cycling, and quicker follow-up shots in full-size and compact .45 ACP handguns.

Each cartridge is precision-loaded in premium Norma brass and designed to perform when it matters most. Whether for personal carry or home defense, the .45 Auto NXD represents a new class of defensive ammunition built on modern terminal ballistics and quality craftsmanship.
