One of the best options on the market for duty/defense

Great deal on high quality ammo. These are some of the best JHP rounds and they feel just as smooth as non +P.

i was using 135 non p in my ddpcc 8" pistol w/brace. hornady critical duty perfect zero at 25, too large group at 50yds. these 135+p give me an average 1.5' -2' average. pretty darn good considering winds varied 10-15mph.worth the in stock wait

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: Hornady 9mm+P 135 gr FlexLock Critical Duty (50ct) These are my go-to carry rounds—I trust them with my life. Hornady’s FlexLock design is solid, offering excellent penetration and barrier performance without overpenetration, which is exactly what I want in a defensive load. Recoil is manageable for a +P round, and they run flawlessly in all of my handguns. I’ve never had a malfunction with these, and they shoot consistently tight groups. The price is very reasonable, especially with the military discount, and the 50-round box is a better value than typical 20-round carry ammo packs. If you’re looking for duty-grade performance you can count on, Critical Duty is the way to go.

Critical Duty 135 +P has been my go to carry round for years. It is one of the best all around SD rounds available. A great blend of expansion and penetration at an excellent price.

it’s what you need when you need it

Great quality ammo. Best price I can find these for. No feeding issues in either my HK's or my Glocks. These also do a really good job at resisting setback from repeated chambering. Slick nickel case, sealed primer, good ballistics performance. +p gives it the perfect amount of spice for 9mm.

This is what I carried with me when I was on duty, never had a misfire. Very accurate, was able to ring the gong at 100 yards out of my Glock 17. In ballistics Gelatin has great mushrooming and good penetration. This is all I will ever carry.

great performing ammunition , Buds shipped it quickly. great carry round fir your 9mm . great first responder program too

Shoots incredibly soft this did shoot better than my 115 Blazers was softer I dunno how hornady makes such powerful rod shoot so softly but they do. My goto ammo loaded in my EDC and anything else like truck guns etc.

Wonderful ammo to have in your duty or self defense gun. Great quality, shoots smooth and would buy again.

I use these rounds for my (off-duty/retired) carry of my S&W 6906. I have qualified with the .357Sig version of this round in my Sig P-229. I observed these rounds, have a flatter path as the distance to the target gets longer. I never encountered a failure of any type with these rounds in any caliber. I have used this ammo in magazines from different manufacturers without any failures. You can't beat Bud's prices or availability of this ammo, when other stores charge almost double the price for what a 20 round count of this ammo goes for.

27 years in the U.S. Army has taught me one very important thing: accuracy can make all the difference in the world. I paired the Hornady Critical Duty rounds to my Sig Sauer M18 with iridium sights and modified spring and trigger assembly. I shot 5 different rounds and filmed each to ensure maximum time on target with minimum raise in barrel while rapid firing on a 25 yard silouette. While I cannot say the consistency was a result of the rounds and my set up...I can say I loved how my groups looked and how easy it was to field clean my weapon!

Excellent product. Bud’s easy purchase and delivery.

The Hornady Critical Duty is extremely good ammo. Bud’s has excellent prices, fast shipping and always provides excellent service.

Wanted the some ammo with strong impact and the extra oomph. Got with these

Great choice for personal defense.

Best duty ammo I've carried at a reasonable price given how the market is right now. I've recommended several co-workers to the site and they've agreed. If you're with an agency low on funding, and you take it upon yourself to carry the best ammo available, I highly recommend checking this out.

A tired and true Barrier Blind round for penetration of the FBI Test Protocol for Wallboard, Sheet Metal, and the hardest of the test Laminated Automotive Windshield Glass.. These may not offer maximum expansion/tissue disruption like other Law Enforcement rounds Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, Remington Golden Saber Bonded, and Winchester Ranger T-Series & Ranger Bonded in excess of .60" - .68" expansion, but these do provide a consistent and reliable .54" - .58" expansion through barriers with deep penetration of 15.5" - 17" leaving nothing to be desired for serious duty use even the NTOA Law Enforcement test evaluation gave these 135 grain +P an outstanding 4.85 out of 5.0 rating.. I would recommend using these in a 4.5" or longer barrel.. Thank you for supporting America and it's Armed Forces

The FBI Standard Load. That's good enough for me! And with Bud's Qualified Person Discount and service, how could you go wrong?

I have been purchasing Hornady 9mm+P 135 grain Critical duty for years. I will not carry any other round. It is a very accurate round.

I’m avid fan of Hornady Ammunition and added a few of these in my carry magazine, just because I could!

Great product! Great price! Great purchase! Great online experience! Buds is GREAT!!

Great ammo, never any issues feeding on any handgun that I own. The shiny case makes it easy to check for one in the chamber without a press check, and it's a reliable and powerful load.
