Due to overwhelming demand and supply chain issues Hornady has suspended Nickel plating on their Critical Defense series during this time. This does not affect the performance of the ammunition just the look of the casing. Hornady will be reviewing returning to Nickel Plating at the end of 2021

Features:

• FTX® BULLET TECHNOLOGY-The patented FTX® bullet expands reliably and resists clogging when fired through heavy clothing.
• DEFENSE-CENTERED DESIGN-Critical Defense® ammunition was developed to provide the best performance for defensive or personal protection situations and is the ultimate choice for any short barreled concealed carry style firearm. Bright nickel-plated cartridge cases simplify chamber checks in reduced light and low-flash propellants help preserve night vision.
• DEPENDABLE-Details such as nickel-plated cases that resist corrosion and optimized propellants that burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash help ensure that Critical Defense® ammo is dependable in every situation.
