Since their inception, conventional hollow point pistol bullets have performed well, but have never delivered 100% reliability, especially in self-defense situations. The patented Flex Tip technology used in Critical Defense ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets. Hornady achieved this by using the same tip material used in LEVERevolution ammunition. All Critical Defense ammunition is loaded in nickel-plated cases for increased visibility in low-light situations. Premium low flash propellants deliver proven performance, even in very short-barreled handguns, and won't disrupt your vision. Reliable expansion and dependable terminal performance can be counted on for concealed carry and personal protection.

Shop with KYGUNCO for the best selection, competitive pricing, and exceptional customer service. Experience the difference that comes with buying from a trusted outdoor retailer with over 20 years of experience in the industry.

I've been trying to get my hands on a few boxes of these. Everywhere else online are selling these at ridiculous prices per box, on top of even more ridiculous shipping & handling fee. Can't wait to get to the range & run some rounds thru my EDC.

Was recommend to pick up Critical Defense for my carry. Absolutely recommend this for anyone else who is looking for ammo to keep in their carry. It certainly is too expensive for plinking, but it's the stuff you want for personal defense.
