Due to overwhelming demand and supply chain issues Hornady has suspended Nickel plating on their Critical Defense series during this time. This does not affect the performance of the ammunition just the look of the casing. Hornady will be reviewing returning to Nickel Plating at the end of 2021

Designed for short-range defensive situations a new breed of FTX® bullets are at the forefront of the Critical Defense® Rifle ammunition line. The bullet’s patented Flex Tip® not only helps keep the nose cavity free from clogging as it passes through heavy clothing but also helps the bullet expand at low velocities.
