Hornady Critical Defense 357 Magnum 125GR FTX 25Rd Box

Hornady Critical Defense 357 Magnum 125 grain ammunition is specifically designed for short barrel concealed defense firearms to meet FBI standards for penetration and expansion. Hornady's FTX Flex Tip design resists clogging, deformation, and inconsistent expansion that can occur when a hollow point projectile passes through soft barriers such as clothing and hard surfaces such as glass or sheet metal. What this means to you is that the FTX bullet will reliably pass though light barriers and expand within the intended target to deliver maximum energy on target with less probability of passing through to injure anyone else. Critical Defense ammunition is loaded in nickel-plated cases to reduce corrosion, improve feeding, and for increased visibility in low-light situations when doing any kind of press or chamber check. Premium low flash propellants are used to aid the shooter in retaining night vision in low light situations and burn quickly to get the best performance possible in short barreled handguns. Hornady Critical Defense 357 Magnum ammunition is an outstanding choice for personal defense in any situation.

NOTICE FROM HORNADY: Temporary suspension of nickel plated cartridge cases for Critical Defense® Handgun Ammunition. Unfortunately, everyone is faced with production bottlenecks and supply chains are stressed. In particular, the freight system is delayed longer than normal. Our current turnaround time on nickel plating cartridge cases is 4+ weeks. This delay has created a significant bottleneck in the production of ammunition. Due to these issues, we will suspend nickel plating on all Critical Defense handgun ammunition to help reduce production time. Please note, this is a temporary suspension.
