Most Helpful Positive Review Best CCW Ammo for Compact or Bigger IMO
This is by far my favorite ammo to carry in a defensive handgun. The ballistic performance is very good and the nickel casings make it very easy to press check at night. More about night shooting too, there’s very low flash even at night, with or without a comp. Combined with the very low recoil in both this version and the +P version, I don’t think you can go wrong with this ammo.

Runs fine!

by NJ approved, Verified Owner from NJ, United States Written on April 29, 2026
Wish it was cheaper, but this is the only defense ammo hollow point that's approved to be used in the state of NJ. Hopefully the price comes down sometime in the future.

Hornady Critically Duty 9mm shells

by No Invites, Verified Owner from WV, United States Written on March 25, 2025
I am very glad to have this ammo in my home for defense against intruders. I feel much safer and confident having 9mm ammo with more “knock down” power to it. I’m glad that Optics Planet.com had it in stock and at a competitive sale price, with free shipping for the amount that I purchased.
Best Used for:
  • Self defense

A Great Cartridge

by Rick, from AL, United States Written on December 3, 2023
This Hornady 135 Grain 9mm cartridge has been a real winner for me. I especially like it in my Full Size CZ pistols and the accuracy is consistant.
