Hornady Critical Duty 45 ACP +P 220gr FlexLock - Box or Case

The Hornady Critical Duty in .45 ACP +P is built for shooters who carry a full-size handgun and demand superior barrier penetration alongside consistent, controlled expansion. Loaded with Hornady's 220-grain FlexLock hollow point, this round pairs a patented Flex Tip polymer insert with a mechanical InterLock band that locks the high-antimony lead core to the copper jacket for maximum weight retention through intermediate barriers.

Designed for home defense and personal protection, Critical Duty produces a muzzle velocity of 975 fps and 464 ft lbs of energy from a 5-inch test barrel. The tough high-antimony lead core resists deformation on impact, while the low-flash propellant charge preserves night vision during low-light engagements. Nickel-plated brass cases feed reliably, simplify chamber checks in dim light, and resist corrosion in magazines carried daily.

Critical Duty was engineered to consistently meet the demanding FBI ammunition test protocol, including heavy clothing, wallboard, plywood, and auto glass barriers. The combination of Flex Tip expansion technology and a tough high-antimony core delivers controlled expansion and unparalleled terminal performance consistency, making it a more economical alternative to similar bonded hollow-point designs.
