Product Overview
Hornady Critical Defense .380 Auto cartridges are engineered for optimal performance in personal protection scenarios, offering dependable expansion and consistent accuracy. The 90-grain FTX? (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet features a patented design that ensures controlled expansion and large, deep wound cavities across a wide range of velocities, making it highly effective against threats. This ammunition is unaffected by heavy clothing such as denim and leather, providing reliable performance even in challenging conditions. The clean-burning and stable propellants contribute to reduced recoil in lightweight handguns, allowing for faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during critical moments. Additionally, minimal muzzle flash helps preserve night vision, and the polished nickel-plated finish prevents corrosion while remaining highly visible in low-light environments. Each cartridge is designed with a cannelured and crimped bullet to prevent setback and ensure reliable feeding in all pistols. Hornady's commitment to quality is evident in the custom design of each bullet for specific loads, making it one of the most consistent and reliable self-defense options available today. Proudly manufactured in the USA, this ammunition comes in boxes of 25 cartridges, with 10 boxes per case, offering a convenient and dependable choice for personal protection. Whether for concealed carry or home defense, Hornady Critical Defense .380 Auto provides peace of mind, combining advanced technology with proven performance to deliver effective self-defense ammunition when it matters most.
