Hornady Critical Defense 44 Special 165gr FTX – 20 Rounds

Hornady Critical Defense 44 Special delivers proven defensive terminal performance in a mid-power revolver cartridge. The 165-grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet uses a polymer insert to initiate reliable expansion through heavy clothing and common barriers without clogging the hollow point. This load offers manageable recoil in medium-frame revolvers while maintaining the penetration and expansion standards required for personal defense.

Designed for snub-nose and short-barrel revolvers commonly chambered in 44 Special, including models from Taurus, Charter Arms, and Smith & Wesson. Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding and extraction. Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light encounters. Available in 20-round boxes.
