Hornady 90226 Critical Duty 9mm Luger +P 135gr FlexLock 25 Rounds

Hornady 90226 Critical Duty 9mm Luger +P 135gr FlexLock is engineered for professionals who demand the very best in defensive and duty ammunition. With its +P pressure rating, this round delivers higher velocity and enhanced terminal performance while still maintaining controlled recoil and accuracy.

The patented Flex Tip® technology prevents the hollow point cavity from clogging, ensuring reliable expansion even after passing through common barriers such as auto glass, drywall, and sheet metal. Combined with the InterLock® band, which mechanically locks the jacket to the high-antimony lead core, the result is over 95% weight retention and consistent penetration shot after shot.

Hornady 90226 features nickel-plated brass cases with sealed primers and case mouths, making this ammunition highly resistant to corrosion and moisture. The low-flash propellant is optimized for use in low-light conditions, preserving night vision and maintaining tactical advantage.

For duty, concealed carry, or personal protection, the Hornady Critical Duty 9mm +P offers the confidence, reliability, and stopping power you need when it matters most.
