This is overpressure ammo. Do not fire it in a gun if you have any apprehensions as to whether said gun can handle above-standard chamber pressure.

Would you like to enlist the flat trajectory and superior stopping power of the 45 ACP +P? Then you’ve found just the ammo for the job: Hornady Critical Defense, which isn’t police grade but which *is* perfectly equipped to handle the kinds of life-or-death circumstances that commonly confront civilians.

The Critical Defense round’s signature feature is its FTX projectile: a distinctive jacketed hollow point owing to its red polymer insert. That insert is not cosmetic. It is functional, as it keeps the JHP’s nose cavity unblocked by debris after impact with a barrier. The result is a bullet which delivers more reliable terminal expansion – a great advantage to have if you’re shooting for all the marbles.

This ammo’s bullets aren’t its only noteworthy components. You’ll appreciate its reduced-flash propellant if you ever have to fire at night and don’t wish to be blinded, too.
