Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm 40gr Flex Tip eXpanding - Box or Case

The Hornady Critical Defense line is purpose-built for short-barrel personal-defense carry, where conventional hollow points can clog with fabric and fail to expand. This 5.7x28mm loading uses Hornady's patented Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) technology - a soft polymer tip seated in the nose cavity that prevents clogging through heavy clothing while still allowing controlled expansion on impact.

Each round drives a lightweight 40 gr FTX bullet at a muzzle velocity of 1810 fps, producing 291 ft lbs of muzzle energy from a clean-burning propellant charge seated in quality brass cases. This Personal Defense offering gives concealed-carry and home-defense shooters a premium factory defensive load with the controlled-expansion performance Critical Defense is known for.

Your purchase options:

• Box - 25 Rounds: Single factory box of 25 rounds, ideal for carrying as a dedicated defensive load.
• Case - 250 Rounds (10 Boxes): Full case of 250 rounds (10 boxes of 25), the most economical way to stock up at the range or in the safe.
