Hollow-point bullets don't always work when compromised by an attacker's clothing, especially denim and leather. NOT with Hornady® Critical Defense. Upon impact, the soft tip compresses into the bullet, initiating immediate expansion across a wide range of velocities.

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..

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mudmad from Nice price, better ammo This ammo shoots very easily and accurate. I like the way this feels coming out of my pistols and the grouping is great. I like the way this ammo expands on impact and use this in my EDC and feel like this will stop any threats with 1-2 rounds. Can't beat price.

Yes it is alright to fire defense rounds out of the 9mmTaurus model 905 revolver. However to fire critical defense rounds frequently would not be good for the long term life of the revolver's barrel. <div class="bvseo-author">Answered by: Joe Product specialist</div> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-08-17</div> </div> </div> <div class="bvseo-question-answer" data-questionid="1551274"> <h2 class="bvseo-question"> does this ammo come in 124 grain </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: falco2340</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="1823608"> This ammo is 115 grain. <div class="bvseo-author">Answered by: Customer Service</div> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2019-07-19</div> </div> </div> <div class="bvseo-question-answer" data-questionid="1427599"> <h2 class="bvseo-question"> The box shows 380 auto, but description is for 9mm which is right? </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: DonCGAZ</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="1684573"> Unfortunately, when we changed our web layout, this forced all of our ammunition that was grouped on to one page to be separated.
