Hornady Critical Duty 45 Auto +P Ammo 220gr FlexLock Polymer Tip is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of law enforcement and duty use, delivering exceptional penetration, controlled expansion, and reliable performance through common barriers. Designed to meet FBI ballistic protocol standards, this load is built for real-world defensive scenarios where consistency and reliability are critical.

The 220-grain FlexLock bullet features a polymer-filled hollow point combined with Hornady’s patented InterLock band, which mechanically locks the jacket and core together during expansion. This design prevents jacket separation and ensures consistent penetration through automotive glass, plywood, and other intermediate barriers while still delivering controlled expansion in soft tissue.

Loaded to +P pressures, this .45 Auto round provides increased velocity and energy for enhanced terminal performance. Low-flash propellants, premium brass, and sealed primers ensure dependable ignition, smooth feeding, and optimal performance in duty pistols designed to handle +P ammunition.
