Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special +P 110gr Flex Tip – 25 Rounds

Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special +P ammunition is engineered specifically for short-barrel revolvers, delivering reliable expansion and barrier-blind performance from barrels as short as 1.875 inches. The 110-grain Flex Tip bullet uses a soft polymer insert that eliminates clogging and ensures consistent expansion through heavy clothing, wallboard, plywood, and other barriers that typically defeat hollow points. The proprietary low-flash propellant minimizes muzzle flash in low-light defensive situations while maintaining effective velocity from snub-nose platforms.

Loaded in nickel-plated brass cases with high-quality primers for reliable ignition and corrosion resistance. This +P loading generates higher chamber pressures than standard 38 Special — verify that your firearm is rated for +P ammunition before use. Available in 25-round boxes. Hornady manufactures this line in Grand Island, Nebraska, with the same quality controls applied to their match and hunting ammunition.
