Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger +P 135gr FlexLock – 25rd Box

Description

Overview

Hornady Critical Duty ammunition is specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of those who require superior barrier penetration with full-size handguns for personal protection. Loaded with the revolutionary FlexLock bullet, Critical Duty delivers consistent “barrier blind” performance when shot through common urban barriers including heavy clothing, plywood, wallboard, sheet metal, and auto glass—all while meeting rigorous FBI tactical handgun ammunition test protocols.

The FlexLock bullet features Hornady’s patented Flex Tip design that eliminates clogging and ensures reliable expansion, combined with a large mechanical InterLock band that bonds the jacket to the core for maximum weight retention. The high-antimony lead core delivers controlled expansion and unparalleled terminal performance consistency. Bright nickel-plated cases with cannelured, crimped bullets prevent setback during feeding and simplify chamber checks in low light, while low-flash propellant preserves night vision during defensive encounters.
