Description

Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm 40-grain FTX ammunition is built for shooters who prioritize reliable expansion and consistent feeding in compact, short-barreled handguns. The Flex Tip (FTX) polymer insert reduces clogging and helps the projectile expand reliably through a variety of clothing layers, while nickel-plated cases increase visibility and resist corrosion. With 25 rounds per box, this load is purpose-designed for concealed carry and personal defense applications.

Key Specifications

  • The 5.7x28mm cartridge provides a compact, low-recoil option suited to modern pistol platforms and PDW-style firearms.
  • The 40-grain FTX polymer-tipped bullet is designed to promote controlled expansion while resisting clogging through heavy clothing.
  • The nickel-plated cases improve corrosion resistance and make chamber checks easier in low-light conditions.
  • The low-flash propellant helps preserve night vision and reduces visible muzzle flash in short-barreled handguns.
  • The 25 rounds per box packaging is convenient for carry-rotation and training allocation.
  • The Critical Defense design is optimized for personal defense use, aiming for reliable terminal performance in concealed-carry scenarios.
  • The reloadable case construction (manufacturer notes) enables handloaders to reuse brass where appropriate and safe.

Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm FTX ammunition is a purpose-built choice for shooters focused on reliable performance in concealed-carry and personal defense roles. With polymer-tipped bullets, nickel-plated cases, and propellants tuned for short barrels, these rounds offer consistency for both duty use and controlled practice sessions.
