Hollow point bullets don’t always work when compromised by an attacker’s clothing, especially denim and leather. NOT with HornadyA(R) Critical Defense. Its patented polymer Flex TipA(R) design always delivers big, controlled expansion and it has minimal muzzle flash to protect night vision. PLEASE NOTE: Hornady has temporarily suspended nickel plating due to supply shortages. These rounds will feature a traditional brass case instead. Order today!
