Hornady Critical Duty Flexlock – 9mm Luger

Hornady Critical Duty® handgun ammunition is engineered with FlexLock® bullets to provide virtually “barrier-blind” performance against common urban barriers, and the ammunition is FBI tested and selected for its reliability and effectiveness. The FlexLock® bullet incorporates the patented Flex Tip® design and the InterLock® band, preventing bullet and core separation for maximum weight retention through FBI test barriers. The high-antimony lead core ensures toughness and controlled expansion, offering consistent terminal performance. Nickel-plated crimped cases resist corrosion and enhance low-light chamber checks. Specifically designed for law enforcement and tactical professionals, Critical Duty® ammunition delivers superior barrier penetration and terminal performance through various obstacles.  Designed for full-size handguns, Critical Duty® loads deliver standard recoil and are not optimized for short-barreled, concealed carry style handguns.
