I depend on Hornady Critical Duty ammunition, especially when hiking in the desert or mountains. Bud’s always has the best prices available!

Outstanding self defense round. Look at Tools and Targets ballistic testing and see for yourself. Happy shooting to all.

This ammunition is the only thing that never jams in my 1911s! Great price at Bud's!

I pick up Hornady Critical Defense in 45 acp when a harder punch might be in order. No FTE or FTF issues with my Colt. Price is great and shipping is fast. Bud's needs to work a little harder at keeping it in stock though as it is tough to find and sells out quick.

Great self defense ammo. No issues cycling in my striker fired and 1911 pistols. Burns clean!

Wanted some high performance personal defense ammo for my 1911’s and my M&P45 and this ammo filled the ticket. Shoots every time and is very accurate.

I chose this ammo for my CMMG Banshee with an 8 inch barrel due to its tougher than normal construction as these come out of the barrel at 1130 FPS according to my chronograph (7 shot string). They feed great with factory Glock magazines however I found with the 26 round SGM magazines the rubber tip affects proper feeding if loaded over 15 rounds. The tip rubs against the front of the mag causing rounds to stick in the mag. That being said you should only trust factory mags in a home defense firearm anyway.

Bought for the price & concealed carry ability for defense . Have only fired a few rounds for testing at the range & found them with nearly the same kick as regular round defense ammo . Not nearly the kick as I'd anticipated .

This ammo packs a punch for sure. Great penetration and recoil even in a GI 1911.

excellent quality all 3 of my 45’s feed them perfectly. Hard hitting comparable ballistics to 10mm.

I depend on having quality ammo available should the need arise. So far I have never used the ammo except at the range but I still like having good ammo for that too. Hornady Critical Duty is a quality product and Buds make it easy to keep a supply on hand.
