Description
The Hornady Critical Defense line is engineered for one purpose: reliable personal-protection performance. Loaded in .357 Magnum, this 125 grain FTX load drives a 1500 fps muzzle velocity and 624 ft lbs of muzzle energy, putting genuine defensive authority behind the revolver or .357 Mag pistol of your choice.
At the center of the load is Hornady’s patented Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) bullet. The soft polymer tip initiates controlled expansion reliably, even at the lower velocities typical of short-barrel revolvers, and resists clogging when fired through heavy clothing like denim or leather. That makes it a smart choice for everyday carry, bedside defense, and any scenario where intervening barriers are a real concern.
Built on a brass case and purpose-built for home defense and concealed-carry personal protection, this is the .357 Mag Critical Defense load trusted by revolver carriers and anyone who relies on a snub-nosed wheelgun for personal safety.
