200rds – 45 Colt Hornady Critical Defense 185gr. FTX Ammo

Hornady Ammunition 185 Grain Flex Tip (FTX) Ammo Details

The best cartridge for self-defense is the one you feel most confident firing. Don’t let anyone tell you to bag your trusted 45 Colt revolver and convert to semi-automatic. Just fill those chambers with Hornady Critical Defense and rest assured you’ve got some truly high-tech jacketed hollow points on your side.

This cartridge is loaded with a 185 grain bullet. At that weight the lighter bullet clears a 3” vented barrel at a rate of 920 fps, which delivers a combination of manageable recoil and effective striking energy for personal defense applications. The bullet is Hornady’s FTX, which is recognizable at a glance thanks to its red polymer tip. This insert fills the entire nose cavity, thus protecting it from getting obstructed by fabric before it proceeds to facilitate rapid terminal expansion.

This ammunition is loaded in Nebraska with low-flash propellant, which is intended to keep your eyesight acclimated to your surroundings if you ever have to fire at night or inside a dark building. That can give you a massive advantage during a crisis!
