HORN 92790 CRITDEF 45 LC 185 FTX 20/10

Hornady Critical Defense .45 Colt ammunition is purpose-built for personal protection, combining a 185-grain FTX bullet with dependable performance in close-quarters and short-range situations. This 20-round box offers a practical option for compatible firearms, including short-barreled, concealed-carry-style handguns.

The patented Flex Tip helps the hollow-point bullet expand reliably while resisting clogging and inconsistent performance that can occur when bullets pass through heavy clothing. Carefully optimized propellants burn quickly to help reduce recoil and muzzle flash, while corrosion-resistant brass cases support reliable handling and make chamber checks easier in low-light conditions. Critical Defense is designed to balance responsive bullet performance with thoughtful details for personal-protection applications.
