Hrndy 357sig 135gr Crt Duty 20/200

Hornady 357 Sig 135 Grain Critical Duty ammunition delivers barrier-blind performance engineered for law enforcement and civilian defensive users who demand superior penetration without over-expansion. Loaded with Hornady's proprietary FlexLock bullet technology, this 357 Sig round functions reliably through common urban barriers—auto glass, sheet metal, and intermediate obstacles—while maintaining terminal velocity and wound channel integrity at 1,225 feet per second.

The 135-grain FlexLock projectile combines a flexible polymer core with a solid brass jacket, engineered to expand in soft tissue while resisting deformation when impacting hard barriers. At 1,225 fps, this velocity produces sufficient energy transfer for full-size handgun platforms while keeping recoil impulse manageable across shooters of varying experience levels. Each box contains 20 rounds, suitable for duty load development, qualification rounds, or serious defensive carry applications where barrier performance is a primary concern.

This ammunition is purpose-built for operators and defensive professionals who carry full-frame .357 Sig handguns and require consistent performance in real-world scenarios where vehicle barriers, heavy clothing, or structural obstacles may be encountered. 357 Sig Critical Duty loads occupy a distinct niche: the cartridge delivers significantly higher velocity than 9mm in comparable bullet weights, while the Hornady platform minimizes over-penetration concerns present with traditional jacketed hollow-point designs in barrier-dense environments.
