Hornady Critical Defense .45 ACP 185gr FlexTip FTX – 20 Rounds

Hornady Critical Defense .45 ACP delivers proven terminal performance through the patented FlexTip FTX bullet — a soft polymer insert that prevents clothing and other barriers from clogging the hollow point cavity while initiating consistent expansion. The lighter 185-grain bullet achieves higher velocities from short-barrel carry pistols, making it an effective choice for concealed carry and home defense use in 1911s, Glock 21s, Springfield XDs, and other .45 ACP platforms.

Each round uses nickel-plated brass cases for reliable feeding and corrosion resistance, paired with low-flash propellants that preserve night vision in defensive encounters. Available in 20-round boxes or 200-round cases. Hornady manufactures this ammunition to +P pressures — verify your firearm is rated for +P loads before use.
