Rated 5 out of 5 by Handgun hunter from Good Self Defense carry ammunition.... Excellent standard pressure CCW defensive handgun ammo especially for a subcompact pistol such as my S&W M&P 2 SHIELD with a 3.1" bbl., the pistol manual recommends not using +P ammunition as to many of the hotter loads can shorten the useful life of the pistol.. The 115 gr. Critical Defense ammo has a very good reputation for stopping attackers with 1 or 2 center mass hits... It's a very controllable rd. even in smaller subcompact pistols, expansion is extremely reliable, unlike many hollow Points that are prone to plugging, if shot through heavy clothing , the red polymer tip is seated into the hollow point and initiates expansion and ensures a good bit of expansion while the bullet jacket is heavy enough for reliable penetration... There are a lot more expensive expanding bullets that do a great job, but there are many standard hollow Points that are prone to the plugging issue, turning it into the equivalent of a fmj , but these are right up there with the best, and cycle reliably in all 5 9mm's ,I own or have owned.. Good stuff..
