Hrndy 45acp +p 220gr Crt Duty 20/200

Hornady 45 ACP +P 220 Grain Critical Duty ammunition is engineered for law enforcement and civilian defensive use, delivering barrier blind performance through common urban obstacles. Built around Hornady's FlexLock bullet technology, this 45 ACP +P load achieves 975 feet per second from full-size duty handguns while maintaining controlled expansion and deep penetration through intermediate barriers—a critical combination for real-world shooting scenarios where intermediate cover is a tactical reality.

The 220-grain projectile in the +P load delivers a velocity that maximizes momentum while remaining controllable in rapid-fire sequences. The FlexLock design uses a gilded copper jacket with a nickel-plated case for consistent chamber feeding and corrosion resistance during extended storage or deployment in variable conditions. Critical Duty ammunition is loaded to SAAMI +P pressure specifications, compatible with standard 45 ACP chambers, though users should verify their handgun's rating before use. Each box contains 20 rounds, allowing shooters to maintain adequate training and duty-rotation inventories without excessive cost per round.

This load is purpose-built for officers and serious civilians who depend on the 45 ACP's stopping power and barrier penetration characteristics. The 45 ACP's larger bore and sectional density inherently exceed common defensive calibers in momentum retention, and Hornady's ballistic design optimizes that advantage for duty scenarios. Purchase this ammunition in bulk for range qualification and duty carry rotation; the Critical Duty line maintains tight velocity and pressure controls that support consistent point-of-aim accuracy across extended strings of fire.
