Law enforcement and tactical professionals now have a truly advanced, 21st century handgun ammunition solution that delivers the most consistent and reliable urban barrier performance ever created! The proven Flex Tip® design of the new FlexLock® bullet eliminates clogging and aids bullet expansion. Its large mechanical jacket-tocore InterLock® band works to keep the bullet and core from separating for maximum weight retention and proven terminal performance through all FBI test barriers.
The patented Hornady® Flex Tip® design of the FlexLock® bullet
eliminates clogging and aids bullet expansion. A large mechanical
jacket-to-core InterLock® band works to keep the bullet and core from
separating for maximum weight retention, excellent expansion and
consistent penetration and terminal performance through all FBI test
barriers.
The FlexLock® is an “intelligent bullet” that reacts
differently depending on the barrier it encounters, delivering “barrier
blind” performance after penetrating urban barriers such as plywood,
sheet metal and even auto glass.
Bright nickel plated cases
eliminate cartridge case tarnish, and the highly visible silver nickel
simplifies chamber checks in reduced light. Additionally, all Critical
DUTY® ammunition is loaded with low flash propellant to help preserve
night vision in low-light firing.
For the ultimate in tactical
terminal ballistic performance through all FBI established urban
barriers, choose Critical DUTY® ammunition.

A:It has great expansion and the flex lock or polymer tip helps make it expand. Plus some hollow points won't expand if they get clogged with heavy clothing like denim jackets so they can't expand and essentially become a fmj round, that won't happen with the flexlock. This retains most of it's weight and virtually no jacket separation. Very good defense round, hope this helps.See 3 more answers | -

A:Leon, you will not have any issues with this round in either the 3.8" or 3.3" Springfield's. I have fired these in similar sized barrels with no ill effects and good accuracy.See 2 more answers |
