“Ten bullets through one hole?? is the philosophy that brought Hornady Manufacturing from a two-man operation in 1949, to a world-leading innovator of bullet, ammunition, reloading tool and accessory design and manufacture today. Hornady outperforms their competitors by ensuring the products they make are what the customers want right now, and then accurately predict and manufacture what they’ll want and need in the future.
Delivering effective shot patterns that place all projectiles on a man-sized target at seven yards, the Critical Defense 410 features a unique Triple Defense projectile column consisting of two 35 caliber round balls topped with one non-jacketed FTX slug. Unique to the Critical Defense 410, the 41 caliber FTX slug actually engages the gun's rifling, and contacts the target nose on; enabling the patented Hornady Flex Tip technology to assist in expansion for greatly enhanced terminal performance. Each 35 caliber round ball is made of high antimony, cold swaged lead to resist deformation and provide excellent penetration.

Would give 5 star rating
At 7 yards got 3 inch group from a 20 inch Henry lever action. Shot went through 5/4" target stand material.

Not very accurate or consistent
Purchased to use with my Taurus Judge (Polyframe). Big kick, but controllable. Slug was accurate, but the follow-on balls were not consistent in the placement pattern. After expending 5 rounds, the casings were hard to eject and required me to tap the ejector on the shooting table (luckily it was carpeted) to remove the casings. Definitely not a fast reload situation. Pros: Slug went straight Cons: Balls wandered up and left

Do not use except for poker and asailents with in 10 feet.
This ammo while not bad in and of itself is part of dangerous myth about the Taurus judge and it's counterparts. While the 45lc is ok; the .410 no matter how it loaded is all hype. The weapon simply needs a longer barrel, although some models have addressed this, but from a 3 inch barrel at 25 I have seen pellets not penetrate a soda can. Howe've with in 10 feet it will absolutely wreck whatever it hits. Pros: Easy Maintenance Cons: Accuracy

This is a devastating rou
This is a devastating round in my S&W Governor. No one would want to be on the business end of this ammo. Very accurate with a big bang. Only issue is that case extraction--you'll need a multi-tool handy. Do not use if anticipating tactical or quick reload with the Governor.

Simply the best for home
Simply the best for home defense no doubt. At 7 paces, roughly 20yrd. The shot pattern of all three slugs all stay in the chest. So combined with a .41cal etc and two .35cal slugs whatever the intruder they're leaving in a body bag. Absolutely love them.

Shot through for 4'' Taur
Shot through for 4'' Taurus Judge. Purchased these in the hopes that the slug would maintain a fairly accurate trajectory. It didn't performed equal to 000 buck loads. Useless 10ft and beyond.
