Hornady Critical Defense 45 Colt 185gr FTX – 20 Rounds

Hornady Critical Defense 45 Colt loads a 185-grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet optimized for short-barrel revolvers. The polymer tip prevents clogging when passing through heavy fabric barriers while initiating reliable expansion. This reduced-recoil loading delivers effective terminal performance without the sharp muzzle blast and excessive recoil common in full-power 45 Colt defensive loads, making it controllable in lightweight snub-nose and compact revolvers.

Compatible with all 45 Colt revolvers and lever-action carbines. Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and enhance visibility during press checks in low light. Available in 20-round boxes or 200-round cases. This is standard-pressure ammunition, safe for all 45 Colt firearms including lightweight frames.
