Critical Defense Lite FTX 90240

Hornady Critical Defense Lite 9mm ammunition delivers proven personal protection performance in a reduced-recoil package. Each round features Hornady's exclusive Flex Tip expanding bullet technology, engineered to provide reliable expansion while penetrating to an effective depth. The 100-grain projectile generates 1,125 feet per second from a 4-inch barrel—ideal for compact carry pistols and shooters who benefit from lower recoil and muzzle rise. Built on nickel-plated brass cases for consistent chambering and corrosion resistance, this ammunition is purpose-designed for self-defense and home defense situations where shot placement and follow-up accuracy matter most.
