Hornady Critical Defense 380 ACP 90-Grain FTX

Hornady Critical Defense 380 ACP

The Critical Defense line represents Hornady's commitment to producing ammunition specifically engineered for personal protection. This 380 ACP loading pairs a 90-grain Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) projectile with a carefully selected powder charge to deliver consistent performance from the shorter barrels typical of 380 ACP pistols.

Key Features

• Flex Tip eXpanding Bullet: The FTX design initiates expansion reliably while preventing clogging from intermediate barriers
• Optimized Velocity: Loaded to deliver consistent performance from compact 380 ACP firearms
• Nickel-Plated Brass: Provides corrosion resistance and reliable feeding
• Consistent Quality: Manufactured to exacting standards for reliable function when it matters most

Performance Characteristics

The 90-grain FTX bullet is specifically designed to perform effectively from the shorter barrels of 380 ACP pistols, where velocity is naturally limited. This ammunition balances expansion and penetration to meet the demanding requirements of personal defense.

What You Get

Each box contains 25 rounds of factory-loaded ammunition, ready for use in any standard 380 ACP firearm. Whether you're stocking a backup pistol or primary carry gun, Critical Defense ammunition delivers the reliability and performance you expect from Hornady.
