Hornady Critical Duty 40 S&W 175gr FlexLock 20 - Box or Case

The Hornady Critical Duty 40 S&W load is purpose-built for shooters who insist on superior barrier penetration and trustworthy terminal performance from a full-size personal defense handgun. It pairs a heavy 175-grain FlexLock jacketed hollow point with a high-antimony lead core, engineered to expand consistently through intermediate barriers such as wallboard, auto glass, and heavy clothing without clogging or core-jacket separation.

A large mechanical InterLock band locks the jacket and core together for maximum weight retention, while the signature polymer Flex Tip initiates reliable expansion even after passing through tough barriers. The load has earned a reputation as one of the most "barrier-blind" self-defense rounds on the market and is widely carried by law enforcement and tactical professionals. Bright nickel-plated brass cases make chamber checks fast and easy in low light, and a low-flash propellant charge helps preserve night vision during defensive firing. From a full-size barrel the load pushes the 175-grain bullet at 1010 fps, generating 396 ft lbs of muzzle energy.
