20 Round Box of Hornady Critical Defense .45 Colt 185 Grain FTX Ammo For Sale

SKU - 92790

---

The .45 Colt has been around since the 1870s, but Hornady's Critical Defense load gives this historic cartridge a modern ammunition configuration. The 185 grain FTX bullet combines a lead core with Hornady's patented Flex Tip, which is designed to initiate expansion while helping prevent the hollow point from becoming clogged by heavy clothing. Nickel-plated brass cases provide increased visibility in low-light conditions, while the powder is formulated with a flash suppressant and temperature-stable characteristics. Hornady designed its Critical Defense handgun ammunition around short-barreled and concealed-carry style firearms, giving this .45 Colt load a specialized purpose compared to traditional flat-point and soft-point ammunition.
