9mm – 135 gr FlexLock JHP – Critical Duty – Hornady – 25 Rounds

This 9mm 135 gr FlexLock Hornady’s Critical Duty Ammunition: A Game-Changer for Law Enforcement

Since its introduction in 2012, Hornady’s Critical Duty ammunition has received widespread acclaim from the law enforcement community. Designed to excel in the stringent FBI protocol tests, Critical Duty ammunition is ideally suited for law enforcement and personal defense situations.

A Key Differentiator: Barrier Penetration

What sets Critical Duty apart from Hornady’s Critical Defense ammunition is its ability to penetrate barriers such as sheet metal, wallboard, plywood, heavy clothing, and auto glass. This feature is particularly important for law enforcement professionals, who often face unpredictable and dynamic threats.

Exceptional Performance in FBI Tests

Critical Duty ammunition has consistently delivered impressive results in FBI tests, demonstrating excellent weight retention through various barriers. This ensures that the bullet achieves the required 12-18 inches of penetration into gelatin, even after passing through established barriers.

The FlexLock Bullet: A Technological Marvel

The FlexLock bullet features Hornady’s patented Flex Tip, which initiates expansion every time while preventing clogging. The Interlock band prevents jacket/core separation, a common failure point in non-bonded JHP bullets. By preventing this separation, the Interlock band ensures that the bullet maintains its weight and achieves the necessary penetration to stop an assailant.

A 21st-Century Duty Ammunition

Hornady’s Critical Duty line of ammunition represents a significant advancement in duty ammunition technology. With its exceptional barrier penetration, reliable expansion, and robust construction, Critical Duty ammunition is an excellent choice for law enforcement professionals and individuals seeking a high-performance self-defense round.
