Product Information

Since their inception, conventional hollow point pistol bullets have performed well, but have never delivered 100% reliability, especially in self‑defense situations. The patented Flex Tip® technology used in Critical Defense® ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets. Hornady® achieved this by using the same tip material used in LEVERevolution® ammunition.

All Critical Defense® ammunition is loaded in nickel‑plated cases for increased visibility in low‑light situations. Premium low flash propellants deliver proven performance, even in very short‑barreled handguns, and won't disrupt your vision. Reliable expansion and dependable terminal performance can be counted on for concealed carry and personal protection.

  • FTX® BULLET TECHNOLOGY:  The patented FTX® bullet expands reliably and resists clogging when fired through heavy clothing.
  • DEFENSE‑CENTERED DESIGN:  Critical Defense® ammunition was developed to provide the best performance for defensive or personal protection situations and is the ultimate choice for any short barreled, concealed carry style firearm. Bright nickel‑plated cartridge cases simplify chamber checks in reduced light, and low‑flash propellants help preserve night vision.
  • DEPENDABLE:  Details such as nickel‑plated cases that resist corrosion and optimized propellants that burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash, help ensure that Critical Defense® ammo is dependable in every situation.

This is loaded ammunition.

Reliable and consistent performance

By C R N. on Feb 03, 2024
Fortunately, I have never had to shoot anyone so I cannot attest to their effect on humans. However, there are plenty examples of tests that indicate superior terminal ballistic performance. What I can say from experience is the critical defense loads are accurate and feed well in a variety of guns. I rotate fresh rounds into my carry guns yearly to insure the ammo I may have to depend on is in the best possible condition. The old ammo is used at the range in five different pistols. I shoot the rounds in pocket pistols up to a full sized 1911. None of my guns have experienced a failure to feed or failure to fire using the Hornady Critical Defense 9mm ammo.

Just recently switched to this ammo for my 9mm. Feeds reliably and is accurate.

Great round. I love them!!. I have handloaded for the last 45years and have used Hornady XPT's in my revolver and pistol loads. I never experienced a problem with any products.

I've tried many other brands

By Fenton T. on Apr 01, 2019
After trying many other brands of ammunition, especially pistol and revolver ammunition, Hornady is my first choice.
Hornady ammunition is clean burning, consistent velocity, and well-designed bullets. Critical Defense ammo is my choice for daily carry in either revolver or pistol handguns. It is reliable, effective, and more accurate than most other brands I've tested. My Brownings particularly "like" the 115gr FTX load giving me nice, tight little groups out to fifty yards.
