Designed with the needs of law enforcement professionals and serious defensive shooters in mind, this load delivers controlled expansion, reliable penetration, and barrier performance from one of the world’s most popular handgun cartridges.
Loaded with a 135-grain FlexLock Polymer Tip Flat Base projectile, this ammunition features Hornady’s advanced FlexLock bullet technology designed to provide dependable terminal results through common defensive barriers. The mechanically locked jacket and core help prevent separation during impact, allowing the bullet to maintain structural integrity while delivering consistent penetration and expansion. This innovative design helps ensure reliable performance through heavy clothing and other intermediate barriers where traditional bullets may struggle.
The FlexLock bullet combines a polymer tip with a carefully engineered profile to initiate expansion while maintaining the penetration depth needed for defensive applications. The heavier 135-grain projectile offers excellent stability and a balanced performance profile, helping shooters achieve predictable results in high-pressure situations. Whether used for duty, home defense, or personal protection, this load is built to perform when reliability matters most.
With a muzzle velocity of 1,010 feet per second and muzzle energy of 306 foot-pounds, this ammunition provides a practical balance of manageable recoil, accuracy, and terminal effectiveness. The moderate velocity allows for improved control during rapid follow-up shots, while the heavier bullet weight contributes to dependable penetration and consistent performance.
Each cartridge is built with premium nickel-plated brass casing and a reliable centerfire Boxer primer to ensure smooth feeding, dependable ignition, and consistent extraction. The nickel-plated case provides additional corrosion resistance and supports reliable function in a variety of firearm platforms. Hornady’s strict quality control standards help ensure that every round performs with the consistency shooters expect from the Critical Duty line.
