Hornady Ammunition 40 Grain Flex Tip (FTX) Ammo Details

In our experience, folks who prefer 5.7x28mm for everyday carry aren’t new to the firearms party. They already know which ammo makers are worth dealing with, which is why we expect you’re already familiar with Hornady’s fine products.

Critical Defense ammunition is specifically designed for the self-defense needs of civilians. This round’s 40 grain FTX jacketed hollow point doesn’t have the bonded or InterLocked jacket it would need for flawless performance through car doors, but it is plenty effective for the vast majority of life-threatening altercations a good man might find himself in.

This round’s bullet has a secret weapon: the Flex Tip. It’s a polymer insert that protects the nose cavity from jamming up with clothing fragments, which in turn preserves the JHP’s capacity for wide and quick expansion. A simple solution to the JHP’s greatest weakness!

Worried that the muzzle flash from your first shot might blind you if you have to fire at night? That’s reasonable. That’s also why you’ll appreciate Hornady’s low-flash propellant, which is specifically designed to conserve the shooter’s night vision. Made in Nebraska with reloadable brass; 1,810 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4.8” test barrel.
