Hornady Critical Defense Ammunition was purpose built for defensive use and is designed to deliver reliable and controlled expansion regardless of the target every time. Critical Defense Ammunition is loaded with Hornady's FTX bullet which has a soft polymer insert that delivers superior controlled expansion and large, deep wound cavities over a wide range of velocities. Each round is loaded into a nickel plated brass case for increased visibility in low-light situations and premium low flash propellants that deliver proven performance, even in very short-barreled firearms that will not disrupt night vision.
