Hornady Critical Duty 40 S&W 175-Grain Polymer Tipped Ammo – Reliable Performance for Law Enforcement and Self-Defense

175GR FLEXLOCK 20RD 10BX/CS

Hornady Critical Duty 40 S&W cartridge offers a high-performance solution for law enforcement professionals and responsible civilians seeking dependable defense ammunition. Each round features a 175-grain FlexLock® polymer-tipped bullet, engineered to deliver consistent expansion and reliable terminal performance through all FBI test barriers. The patented Flex Tip® initiates uniform expansion every time while preventing clogging, ensuring optimal performance in critical moments. The heavy-duty InterLock® band secures the jacket and core together, providing maximum weight retention and controlled expansion, even after passing through barriers or heavy clothing. Constructed with a high-antimony lead core, these bullets are designed for controlled expansion, durability, and economical operation compared to bonded alternatives. The cannelured bullet with a crimped case design prevents bullet setback during feeding, ensuring safety and performance reliability. Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and enhance chamber checks in low-light conditions, adding to the cartridge’s overall durability and ease of handling. Crafted in the USA, Hornady Critical Duty 40 S&W rounds come in boxes of 20, with 10 boxes per case, making them a practical choice for duty use and high-volume training. The cartridge's dimensions are optimized for smooth feeding and chambering, with a total length of approximately 0.775 inches and a diameter matching standard 40 S&W specifications. Reloadable for those who prefer to reuse brass components, these cartridges combine advanced ballistic technology with proven operational dependability, making them an excellent choice for demanding applications.
