Most Helpful Positive Review The only ammo I trust.
Your search stops here. Great expansion, without over penetration. I use Critical Defense in all my handguns. Well worth the cost. There is no bigger mistake you can make than selecting a high-quality firearm and a high-end holster, and the loading it with the cheapest range ammo you can find.
