Hornady - FlexLock JHP - 175 Grain 40 S&W Ammo - 20 Rounds

This 40 S&W cartridge is from Hornady’s Critical Duty line of ammunition, and accordingly ideal for personal protection. Its 175 grain FlexLock bullet’s name is a portmanteau of two of Hornady’s innovative barrier-defeating features: the Flex Tip and the InterLock ring. The columnar polymer Flex Tip sits in the bullet’s hollow point nose cavity, preventing detritus like fabric and drywall gypsum from clogging it and impacting its ability to commence expansion. The FlexLock’s jacket possesses a ring that embeds it in the core, so the two remain virtually inseparable throughout all stages of penetration. The result speaks for itself -- a deep and wide wound channel which earns the FlexLock an impressive score on the definitive FBI test protocol.

The Critical Duty label provides another great feature for a self-defense load: a nickel plated brass casing. It keeps tarnishing from impacting your EDC’s functionality, facilitates a semi-automatic’s cycling process, and makes it easier to check your chamber whenever the light’s not playing along. While Hornady rose to prominence as a bullet manufacturer, their supporting components are superlative. Expect a consistent muzzle velocity every time you fire one of these fine cartridges!
