HORNADY CRITICAL DEFENSE .45 ACP 185gr FTX

Description

Designed to meet the needs of those who demand superior barrier penetration and prefer a full-size handgun for their personal protection. Critical Duty® is loaded with the tough Hornady® FlexLock® bullet that delivers “barrier blind” performance when shot through common urban barriers. The patented Hornady® Flex Tip® design eliminates clogging and aids bullet expansion. A large mechanical jacket-to-core InterLock® band works to keep the bullet and core from separating for maximum weight retention, excellent expansion, consistent penetration and terminal performance through all FBI test barriers. Bright nickel-plated cases simplify chamber checks in reduced light. Additionally, all Critical Duty® ammunition is loaded with low flash propellant to help preserve night vision in low-light firing.

FLEXLOCK® BULLET

• Patented Flex Tip® design and the heavy duty jacket-to-core InterLock® band.

INTERLOCK® BAND

• Works to keep the bullet and core from separating for maximum weight retention and proven terminal performance through all FBI test barriers.

CORE

• Made of high-antimony lead making it extremely tough, delivering controlled expansion for unparalleled terminal performance consistency through all FBI test barriers. It’s also more economical than similar bonded bullets.

NICKEL-PLATED CRIMPED CASES
