Hornady Critical Defense ammunition was engineered to deliver superior performance in personal protection scenarios, making it ideal for short-barreled, concealed-carry style firearms. The nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and make chamber checks easier in low-light conditions. Optimized propellants burn quickly, reducing recoil and limiting muzzle flash to help preserve night vision. The patented FTX bullet features a Flex Tip design that expands reliably and resists the clogging and inconsistency that often affect other hollow points when fired through heavy clothing.
The Triple Defense load is specifically optimized for close-quarters and short-range situations, delivering effective shot patterns that place all projectiles on a man-sized target at seven yards. The unique Triple Defense projectile column consists of two 35 caliber round balls topped with one non-jacketed FTX slug. The 41 caliber FTX slug engages the gun’s rifling and contacts the target nose-on, allowing the patented Hornady Flex Tip technology to assist in expansion for greatly enhanced terminal performance. Each 35 caliber round ball is made of high antimony, cold swaged lead to resist deformation and provide excellent penetration. This 410 Bore ammunition comes in a 20-round capacity box.
