The patented Flex Tip technology used in Critical Defenseammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets. Hornady achieved this by using the same tip material used in LEVERevolution ammunition.

Features of Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm 40 Grain FTX Brass Cased Pistol Ammunition
Bullet expands reliably and resists clogging when fired through heavy clothing.
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.
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.
