What Buyers Ask
Is this ammo suitable for compact/subcompact pistols?
Yes. The Hornady Critical Defense line is specifically engineered for reliable performance in short-barrel handguns common for concealed carry. The propellant is tuned to burn completely in shorter barrels.
How does the FTX bullet perform compared to hollow points?
The polymer tip serves two main functions: it prevents the hollow point cavity from clogging with material like heavy clothing, and it initiates uniform expansion upon impact. This design delivers consistent terminal performance.
Is the nickel plating just for looks?
No. The nickel-plated brass cases provide superior corrosion resistance, which is important for defense ammo that may be stored long-term. They also feed with very high reliability due to reduced friction.
