Hornady Critical Duty .45 Auto +P 220gr Ammunition w/FlexLock Bullets (20/Box) 90926

Hornady's Critical Defense Ammunition was built from the ground up for self defense situations, and works particularly well in handguns with shorter barrels. While conventional hollow point designs works well, their effectiveness is sometimes limited in pistols with short barrels, due to the cavity of the hollow point becoming "plugged" upon impact. Hornady's Critical Defense rounds address this issue with the patented technology of FTX Bullets. Instead of a hollow cavity, FTX bullets feature a polymer Flex Tip which acts like a piston that compresses upon impact, resulting in rapid, consistent expansion. This design is perfect for compact and sub compact pistols with short barrels, as they might not be able to produce the necessary velocity for traditional hollow points to expand. The advanced design of the FTX bullets is perfectly matched with a clean burning propellent that produces a minimal flash signature to preserve dark adapted vision °C a critical factor in self defense situations. In addition, the Critical Defense handgun rounds use premium cases and reliable primers.
