CONCEALED CARRY RELIABILITY. UNMATCHED STOPPING POWER.

Hornady® Critical Defense® is engineered for maximum reliability in self-defense situations. While traditional hollow point bullets can clog and fail to expand, the patented Flex Tip® technology eliminates this risk, ensuring consistent expansion and deep penetration when it matters most.

Built for low-light encounters, this ammunition features nickel-plated casings for enhanced visibility and low-flash propellants to preserve night vision. Even in short-barreled handguns, Critical Defense delivers proven stopping power, making it a top choice for concealed carry and home protection.
