Hornady .38 Special Lite FTX 90gr Critical Defense 25/Box

Critical Defense® handgun ammunition is built to meet the needs and requirements of individuals serving the law enforcement and military communities in a variety of specialized assignments.  Whether serving in executive protection, undercover operations, backup weapon or off-duty carry, Critical Defense® provides controlled expansion while mitigating the liability of over penetration,  which is a vital part of operating in these environments.

The patented FTX® technology used in Critical Defense® ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistent expansion and penetration that often plagues hollow point bullets.  All Critical Defense® ammunition is loaded in nickel cases for improved feeding and increased visibility in low-light situations. Critical Defense® is unaffected by thick, heavy clothing (including denim and leather) and delivers superior controlled expansion with deep wound cavities over a wide range of velocities. Premium low flash propellants deliver proven performance that has been specifically tailored for short-barreled handguns. Critical Defense® is the most effective, consistent, and reliable ammunition available for use in these specialized environments!
