Hornady Critical Duty 9mm ammunition pairs a 135-grain FlexLock bullet with barrier-blind construction, since the round is built to keep its profile through common barriers like interior doors, drywall, and glass. It ships Boxer-primed in brass cases, 25 rounds to the box, and works well as a duty, home-defense, or dedicated training load for any full-size 9mm pistol.

Description
Hornady Critical Duty 9mm 135gr FlexLock
Hornady Critical Duty 9mm ammunition is built for the shooter who carries a full-size pistol and needs proven performance against whatever barrier stands between the muzzle and the target.
Hornady engineered the FlexLock bullet at the heart of this load with a scored jacket, so the nose flexes rather than plugs when it meets denim, wallboard, or laminated glass. Because barrier-blind performance defines the Critical Duty line, the 135-grain bullet holds its intended profile through those obstacles instead of shedding weight or over-expanding on contact. That consistency is what a duty or home-defense round needs, since it has to perform the same way whether it strikes bare tissue or something in between. Along with that reliability, the brass case and Boxer primer keep this round straightforward to run through any full-size 9mm handgun, whether it’s loaded for range training or kept on hand as a duty reserve.

Ideal Use Cases — Hornady Critical Duty 9mm
Because Critical Duty pairs full-size velocity with barrier-blind construction, it fits several roles beyond the box it ships in:
- Duty carry for law enforcement, security professionals, and full-size-frame concealed carry
- Home defense, where a shot may have to pass through an interior door or drywall
- Range training and qualification with the same load carried on duty, so point of impact matches practice ammunition
