Hornady Critical Duty 9mm +P 124gr FlexLock Ammo - 25 Rounds

The Hornady Critical Duty 9mm +P ammunition delivers consistent barrier penetration and terminal performance for law enforcement and personal protection applications. This 124-grain FlexLock bullet design maintains structural integrity through intermediate barriers while providing reliable expansion in soft tissue.

What Makes This Different

The FlexLock bullet features a polymer insert that prevents clogging when passing through heavy clothing, drywall, or automotive glass. Unlike traditional hollow point designs that can plug with debris, the Critical Duty maintains its expansion capabilities after barrier penetration. The InterLock band mechanically locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation during expansion for deeper penetration than standard duty rounds.

Key Features

• 124-grain FlexLock bullet with polymer tip insert prevents clogging
• InterLock band locks jacket and core for controlled expansion
• +P loading generates 1200 fps muzzle velocity from 4-inch barrel
• Low flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
• FBI protocol tested for barrier penetration performance
• Consistent 12-18 inch penetration depth in ballistic gelatin

This ammunition excels in duty and defensive scenarios where barrier penetration is likely. The FlexLock design maintains expansion characteristics after passing through automotive glass, heavy clothing, or wallboard materials that typically defeat hollow point bullets. Law enforcement agencies rely on this loading for its predictable terminal ballistics and reduced risk of over-penetration in urban environments.
