Hornady® Critical Defense® .25 ACP 35 Grain FTX® Handgun Ammo features a patented, controlled-expansion design with the FTX bullet offering consistency and reliability desired for self defense applications. Clean-burning, stable powders perform in all temperatures with minimal muzzle flash and reduction in recoil. Critical Defense is designed to mitigate the issues found in defensive rounds penetrating thick clothing. Large, deep wound cavities offer desired results on target, designed to quickly stop the threat. Critical Defense rounds are properly cannelured and crimped to keep you from dealing with bullet setback. The highly-polished nickel-plated cases combat corrosion and assist in clean feeding.
