Experience reliable performance with Hornady Critical Defense ammunition. Conventional hollow point bullets have historically faced challenges with consistent expansion, particularly when encountering heavy clothing. The innovative, patented Flex Tip® technology, also found in LEVERevolution® ammunition, addresses these issues by preventing clogging and ensuring reliable expansion.

Hornady Critical Defense ammunition features nickel-plated cases for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Its premium, low-flash propellants are engineered to deliver consistent performance, even from very short-barreled firearms, without disrupting your vision. This ammunition offers dependable expansion and terminal performance for a wide range of shooting applications.

Key Features:

• FTX® Bullet Technology: The patented FTX® bullet is designed for reliable expansion and resists clogging when fired through heavy clothing, ensuring consistent performance.
• Optimised Design: Critical Defense® ammunition is developed to provide optimal performance for various shooting scenarios, making it an excellent choice for compact firearms and those requiring consistent results from shorter barrels. Bright nickel-plated cartridge cases facilitate chamber checks in reduced light, and low-flash propellants help preserve night vision.
• Dependable: Features such as corrosion-resistant nickel-plated cases and optimised propellants that burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash contribute to the overall dependability of Critical Defense® ammunition in every situation.
