Hornady Critical Defense 40 S&W 165gr FlexTip FTX – 20 Rounds

Hornady Critical Defense 40 S&W ammunition is purpose-built for personal protection with a 165-grain FlexTip FTX bullet. The patented Flex Tip design eliminates clogging and aids consistent expansion through heavy clothing, barriers, and intermediate obstacles. The bullet's InterLock band mechanically locks the core and jacket together during expansion to prevent separation and maintain weight retention for deeper penetration.

This load is optimized for short-barrel defensive pistols and delivers reliable function in semi-automatic firearms. Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and provide smoother chambering and extraction. Low-flash propellants help preserve night vision in low-light encounters.
