    OVERVIEW

    Hornady’s Critical Defense 45 Colt ammunition is engineered for the shooters who rely on their sidearm when it matters most. Built around the proven 185‑grain FTX bullet, this load delivers dependable expansion, consistent performance, and reliable terminal results in the distances and conditions tied to real‑world defensive encounters. Critical Defense was created specifically for short‑barreled, concealed‑carry firearms, providing shooters with a round that’s optimized for fast handling and close‑quarters protection without sacrificing accuracy or control.

    The patented Flex Tip design stands at the core of its performance. Traditional hollow points can clog or fail when pushed through heavy clothing or close‑range barriers, but the FTX bullet’s polymer insert eliminates that risk. It forces uniform expansion on impact, maintains consistency shot after shot, and brings a level of reliability that makes it a trusted choice for home defense. In combination with carefully selected propellants, the round produces lower recoil and reduced muzzle flash. That fast‑burning charge helps preserve night vision and ensures the first shot, and every follow‑up shot, stays controlled even in low‑light situations.

    Its corrosion‑resistant brass casing provides dependable chambering and clean extraction. In dim environments, the polished brass also helps with quick chamber checks, allowing shooters to confirm readiness with minimal effort. With a muzzle velocity of 920 fps and 348 ft‑lbs of energy, this 45 Colt load provides balanced power that’s well‑suited for close‑range defensive use without creating unnecessary recoil or blast.

    Packaged in a 20‑round box, the Hornady Critical Defense 45 Colt FTX load offers reliable performance for anyone who prioritizes preparedness and confidence in their defensive gear. It’s a dependable option for shooters who want a trustworthy round designed specifically for the demands of personal protection.

    The 45 Colt brass FTX load built for smooth cycling and reliable short‑range defensive use.
