Product Details

The Hornady Critical Defense .380 ACP 90 grain JHP is premium personal defense ammunition engineered specifically for concealed carry and home protection. Featuring Hornady's patented FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet technology with a red polymer tip, this cartridge addresses the common problem of hollow point clogging when passing through clothing barriers.

  • Hornady Critical Defense .380 ACP 90 Gr JHP ammunition
  • 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 rounds total)
  • Muzzle velocity: 1,000 fps, muzzle energy: 200 ft-lbs
  • FTX bullet with polymer tip prevents cavity clogging
  • Nickel-plated brass cases for corrosion resistance
  • Low flash propellant preserves night vision
  • Small pistol primer

Designed for reliable expansion through heavy clothing including multiple denim layers, this ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance in short-barreled firearms and backup weapons. The polymer tip acts as a wedge to initiate expansion while maintaining feeding reliability. Tested and recommended by the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA), this is widely regarded as one of the top .380 ACP defense loads available.

Hornady: Quality & Dependable Rounds
Hornady delivers a quality, dependable round with unquestionable stopping power. Glad the .380 and 9 mm rounds are finally available again. A little pricy, but you get what you pay for.
