Hornady Critical Defense Ammunition for Handguns, Rifles & Shotguns — 25 products / 25 models

Buying Info Videos

Shop online for Hornady Critical Defense ammo for pistols, shotguns, and rifles. Hornady designed this ammunition with their signature FTX bullet with Flex Tip technology that delivers reliable expansion without causing clogging that other hollow points encounter when passing through heavy clothing and other obstacles. We have great deals on Hornady Critical Defense 9mm ammo, 410 slugs, .223 rifle rounds, and other popular calibers. Beyond its stopping power, Hornady Critical Defense ammunition features bright cartridge cases for quick chamber checks and uses a low-flash propellant to preserve your vision in dark environments, making it ideal for home defense. While their Critical Duty line is geared towards full-size handguns, Critical Defense 9mm rounds excel in compact pistols to suit concealed carry owners.image
