250 Rounds of .25 ACP Ammo by Hornady Critical Defense – 35gr FTX

Want to give your easily concealed 25 ACP pistol the reliable stopping power it needs to neutralize a threat quickly? Then Hornady’s Critical Defense line of ammunition provides just what you need in the form of this handy little cartridge. This round’s 35 grain bullet is an FTX, which has got a Flex Tip to initiate rapid expansion upon impact. That polymer pillar further prevents the hollow in the FTX’s nose from plugging up with fabric, preserving its ability to expand. During expansion the FTX’s heavy jacket and high antimony lead core remain locked together courtesy of their InterLock ring, enabling the FTX not only to widen greatly but to penetrate deeply as well.

This round’s casing has a nickel plating, which conveys several benefits to its performance: corrosion resistance, smooth cycling, and better visibility during a chamber check in dim lighting. A Critical Defense load is further optimized for self-defense in the dark thanks to its low flash propellant, which will preserve your vision so you may fire accurate follow-up shots and acquire additional targets as well.
