Hornady Critical Duty handgun ammunition is engineered for service pistols and defensive applications where barrier penetration and controlled expansion are required. This .40 S&W load uses a 175 grain FlexLock bullet, incorporating Hornady Flex Tip technology to help prevent clogging and promote consistent expansion through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers.
The FlexLock projectile integrates a mechanical InterLock band that helps secure the bullet core and jacket together during impact. This construction is designed to maintain bullet integrity as the projectile penetrates common barriers while still delivering controlled expansion in soft tissue.
Critical Duty ammunition is built with Hornady components and manufacturing standards to provide reliable feeding, consistent ignition, and dependable ballistic performance from duty-size handguns. The load is optimized for defensive use and service handgun performance.
