Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm 40gr FTX – 25 Rounds

Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm delivers reliable expansion and consistent penetration through heavy clothing using the patented FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet design. The elastomer tip prevents clogging in fabric barriers while initiating controlled expansion in soft tissue. Purpose-built for personal defense with the FN Five-seveN and similar pistols, this load maximizes the 5.7x28mm cartridge's terminal effectiveness at close range.

Loaded in nickel-plated cases with low-flash propellants to preserve night vision in defensive encounters. Optimized for pistol-length barrels. Available in 25-round boxes or 250-round cases.
