Description
The Hornady Critical Defense Lite in 38 Special was engineered for the realities of personal protection in compact revolvers and lightweight carry guns. Loaded with the patented 90-grain FTX Flex Tip eXpanding bullet, this Lite loading is built to deliver reliable expansion through heavy clothing while keeping felt recoil and muzzle blast to a minimum.
Critical Defense Lite pushes 1200 fps of muzzle velocity and 288 ft lbs of muzzle energy from its 90-grain FTX projectile, putting a proven defensive bullet in the most concealable revolvers and snub-nose carry guns. The polymer Flex Tip initiates expansion across a wider velocity window than conventional hollow points, delivering controlled expansion with a large, deep wound cavity across a wide range of velocities. Brass cases are loaded with clean-burning, low-flash propellants for consistent ignition.
Optimized for personal protection and home defense, the Critical Defense Lite gives the 38 Special shooter reduced-recoil performance without giving up modern defensive bullet technology.
