Hornady’s Critical Defense line of ammunition stands for the reliability that you wouldn’t do without in a self-defense scenario. Everything about this 32 ACP round’s performance is meant to give you better peace of mind in the event that you ever have to stand your ground. Its brass casing is nickel plated to protect it from corrosion and promote smoother feeding and ejection, its sure-fire Boxer primer is non-corrosive and dependable, and its clean burning propellant is formulated to produce little flash so that you can fire more accurately in the dark.

This round’s dependability is further derived from its 60 grain FTX projectile. The bullet’s Flex Tip is a shaft of elastomer that protects its hollow point nose cavity from filling with fabric before it can realize its devastating potential within a threat. The Flex Tip further initiates massive expansion as it gets mashed inward during penetration. This bullet’s jacket demonstrates the sort of concentricity that a Hornady product is famous for as well, so its inherent accuracy will leave you better equipped to handle a more distant threat.
