Hornady Critical Defense Lite handgun ammunition is designed for shooters seeking defensive performance with reduced recoil in compact revolvers. This .38 Special load uses a 90 grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet, incorporating a polymer Flex Tip insert that helps prevent clogging of the hollow point cavity and promotes reliable expansion.
The lighter projectile weight and standard pressure loading produce reduced recoil compared to heavier defensive .38 Special loads. This design improves controllability in lightweight revolvers commonly used for concealed carry.
Critical Defense Lite ammunition is engineered to provide consistent expansion while maintaining manageable recoil for improved control and faster follow-up shots. The FTX bullet initiates expansion when the polymer tip compresses into the hollow point cavity upon impact.
