The Hornady 90933 delivers enhanced terminal performance through its 160-grain MonoFlex bullet design optimized for .45 ACP +P applications. This premium defensive ammunition combines controlled expansion with deep penetration for reliable stopping power in critical situations.
What Makes This Different
The MonoFlex bullet construction features a solid copper alloy body with Hornady's Flex Tip technology, eliminating the inconsistencies found in traditional hollow point designs. Unlike standard lead-core bullets that can fragment or fail to expand, the MonoFlex maintains structural integrity while delivering consistent expansion across various barrier materials. The +P loading generates approximately 15% more velocity than standard pressure loads, translating to enhanced energy transfer and terminal effectiveness.
Key Features
- 160-grain MonoFlex bullet with solid copper construction for barrier-blind performance
- +P loading delivers increased velocity and energy over standard pressure rounds
- Flex Tip technology ensures reliable expansion through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers
- Nickel-plated cases provide enhanced corrosion resistance and smooth feeding
- Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent performance from -20°F to +120°F
- Meets FBI protocol standards for law enforcement applications
This ammunition excels in duty and personal defense scenarios where barrier penetration and consistent expansion are critical. The MonoFlex design maintains effectiveness when fired through automotive glass, wallboard, and heavy fabric without the core separation issues common in traditional jacketed hollow points. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this load for its predictable performance across diverse threat scenarios, while the reduced recoil compared to heavier .45 ACP loads allows for faster follow-up shots.
