Hornady Critical Defense 25 ACP 35 gr Flex Tip Expanding 25/Box - Box or Case

The Hornady Critical Defense line was developed to deliver reliable performance in personal-defense situations, and this 25 ACP load brings that proven technology to one of the most compact, easy-to-carry centerfire handgun cartridges ever made. Loaded with a 35 gr Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) bullet, Critical Defense ammunition is engineered to expand reliably and resist clogging when fired through heavy clothing, making it an excellent choice for home defense and backup-gun applications.

The FTX bullet uses Hornady's patented polymer Flex Tip seated over a hollow point cavity, paired with a traditional lead core and copper jacket to initiate consistent expansion at the modest velocities typical of the 25 ACP. Hornady rates this load at a 900 fps muzzle velocity producing 63 ft lbs of energy, factory-loaded in brass cases with non-corrosive boxer primers. As part of Hornady's Personal Defense series, this new-production ammunition is well suited to small 25 ACP pistols and derringers where dependable expansion and gentle recoil matter most.
