200rds – 45 ACP +P Hornady Critical Defense 185gr. FTX Ammo Details

You don’t want to get got. You carry a 45 for that very reason – and you should keep it loaded with Hornady Critical Defense ammunition for the same.

This cartridge is more powerful than normal. Its “+P” designation indicates that its chamber pressure ceiling is higher than standard: 23,000 psi, as opposed to 21,000. That’s why its muzzle energy is on par with the 357 SIG. That’s also why it recoils harder, and isn’t suitable for firearms that aren’t designed to contain its excess pressure.

The jacketed hollow point bullet design has a major shortcoming: if it clogs up with fabric or other particles, it can fail to expand. Enter the Hornady Flex Tip eXpanding, which overcomes that issue by containing supple polymer inside its nose cavity. Keeps debris out. Lets expansion take place more reliably.

Vision is an incredibly important faculty to possess while you are aiming a handgun. Hornady knows this, and loads Critical Defense ammunition with low-flash propellant because of it. You’ll appreciate non-blinding muzzle flash if you ever have to play D in the dark!
