Designed to meet the needs of those who demand superior barrier penetration and prefer a full-size handgun for their personal protection. Critical Duty® is loaded with the tough Hornady® FlexLock® bullet that delivers "barrier blind" performance when shot through common urban barriers. The FlexLock® bullet incorporates two revolutionary Hornady®features to deliver superior barrier penetration and consistent performance in FBI tactical handgun ammunition tests (FBI Protocol). The patented Hornady® Flex Tip® design eliminates clogging and aids bullet expansion. A large mechanical jacket-to-core InterLock® band works to keep the bullet and core from separating for maximum weight retention, excellent expansion, consistent penetration and terminal performance through all FBI test barriers. Bright nickel-plated cases simplify chamber checks in reduced light. Additionally, all Critical Duty® ammunition is loaded with low-flash propellant to help preserve night vision in low-light firing.
Barrier Blind Performance. FLEXLOCK® BULLET
Incorporates two revolutionary Hornady® features: the no-clog, patented Flex Tip® design and the heavy-duty jacket-to-core InterLock® band.
- INTERLOCK® BAND - Works to keep the bullet and core from separating for maximum weight retention and proven terminal performance through all FBI test barriers.
- CORE - Made of high-antimony lead making it extremely tough, delivering controlled expansion for unparalleled terminal performance consistency through all FBI test barriers. It's also more economical than similar bonded bullets.
- NICKEL-PLATED CRIMPED CASES - Nickel plating resists corrosion and greatly enhances low-light chamber checks. The cannelured bullet with crimped case ensures no bullet setback during feeding.
