Hornady Critical Defense .45 Auto+P 185gr Ammunition w/FTX Bullets (20/Box) 90923

The Hornady Critical Defense .45 Auto+P 185gr is a high-pressure self-defense load specifically engineered to deliver reliable expansion and superior terminal performance through heavy clothing and barriers. It features the patented FTX® (Flex Tip®) bullet, which utilizes a soft elastomer plug to prevent the hollow point from clogging while initiating rapid, controlled expansion upon impact. As a +P load, it achieves a higher muzzle velocity of 1,000 FPS, providing the increased kinetic energy and flatter trajectory necessary for maximum "stopping power" in full-sized or compact .45 ACP pistols. Designed with nickel-plated cases for corrosion resistance and low-flash propellants to preserve night vision, this 20-round box offers premium reliability for concealed carry and home defense in firearms specifically rated for +P ammunition.
