Hornady - FTX - 185 Grain 45 ACP Ammo - 20 Rounds

Hornady is temporarily loading this ammo with standard brass cases. They will resume loading it with nickel-plated cases once the nickel supply chain is corrected.

Want a self-defense load that’s above criticism? Then you want this 45 ACP cartridge from Hornady’s Critical Defense label! It features a 185 grain projectile -- lightweight for its caliber, and accordingly one that generates relatively little recoil to keep your aim on point. It’s an FTX, with a hollow point nose cavity that houses a soft column of polymer which prevents clogging and wedges inward during penetration to commence massive, rapid expansion. As the FTX mushrooms, it will transfer jarring energy within its target while nearly eliminating its chances of passing through it altogether!

A Critical Defense load delivers a lot while your back’s up against a wall. Its new production brass casing is drawn to precise tolerances to prevent an FTF or FTE. This round’s propellant is also formulated to limit muzzle flash, preserving your vision if you ever have to dump a magazine in the dark or at nighttime.
