Hornady Critical Defense Lite 9mm Luger 100 Gr. FTX- Box of 25

Hornady Critical Defense Lite Ammunition was purpose-built for defensive handgun use and is designed to deliver reliable and controlled expansion regardless of the target every time.  Critical Defense Lite Ammunition is loaded with Hornady's FTX bullet which has a soft polymer insert that delivers superior controlled expansion and large, deep wound cavities over a wide range of velocities.  Each round is loaded into a nickel plated brass case for increased visibility in low-light situations and premium low flash propellants that deliver proven performance, even in very short-barreled handguns that will not disrupt night vision.  This load was developed for any shooter looking to minimize felt recoil of their lightweight, compact, personal protection revolver.
One of the unique features of this bullet is the PINK tip and pink ribbon packaging, Hornady is going to donate a portion of the proceeds on the sale of this ammunition to help fund breast cancer research.

Notice From Hornady: Temporary suspension of nickel-plated cartridge cases for Critical Defense Handgun Ammunition 5/25/21. Unfortunately, everyone is faced with production bottlenecks, and supply chains are stressed. In particular, the freight system is delayed longer than normal. Our current turnaround time on nickel plating cartridge cases is 4+ weeks. This delay has created a significant bottleneck in the production of ammunition.  Due to these issues, we will suspend nickel plating on all Critical Defense handgun ammunition to help reduce production time. Please note, this is a temporary suspension. We will review in six months and plan to resume nickel plating when things return to normal.
