Hornady Critical Defense 45 ACP Ammunition 185 Grain Polymer Tip Box of 20

Concealed Carry Reliability.

Since their inception, conventional hollow point pistol bullets have performed well, but have never delivered 100% reliability, especially in self‑defense situations. The patented Flex Tip® technology used in Critical Defense® ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets. Hornady® achieved this by using the same tip material used in LEVERevolution® ammunition.

Premium low flash propellants deliver proven performance, even in very short‑barreled handguns, and won't disrupt your vision. Reliable expansion and dependable terminal performance can be counted on for concealed carry and personal protection.

• FTX® BULLET TECHNOLOGY: The patented FTX® bullet expands reliably and resists clogging when fired through heavy clothing.
• DEFENSE‑CENTERED DESIGN: Critical Defense® ammunition was developed to provide the best performance for defensive or personal protection situations and is the ultimate choice for any short barreled, concealed carry style firearm. Bright nickel‑plated cartridge cases simplify chamber checks in reduced light, and low‑flash propellants help preserve night vision.
