Hornady Critical Defense 9mm

A: Salvatore, Buds often uses incorrect photo's. This UPC code is for Hornady 9mm Luger Critical Defense Ammunition 115 Grain FTX HP 25 Rounds.

A: A lot of manufacturers don't always send photos of each item, instead they use stock photos that are very similar for the retailers to use. The UPC and description are correct on this being 9mm Critical Defense 115 Grain ammo.

A: That's just what they use as a stock photo. You will actually get 9mm not any other caliber. No worries.

A: The ad is actually for what is described not what is shown there. This is written at the bottom of the photo: "Please Note!! Many of our pictures are stock photos provided to us by the manufacturer and do not necessarily represent the actual item being purchased. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described by the title and description on this page before you place your order." It was my pleasure to assist you.

A: Rated muzzle velocity is 1140 fps and the cases are nickel plated brass.

A: Hello there sweets! These are not yellow brass. They are plated with nickel. The velocity rated for these rounds is 1140 FPS. I carry these but the pink version. I like that they don't have as much recoil as others. As a woman that's a big plus for me. Happy shootin!

A: Martin, Over 1100 fps at the muzzle. There will be a range of velocity. The casings being nickel plated will be silver like nickel not yellow. It's still at the factory

A: Greetings, This is defensive ammo (not to confused with range ammo) as such it has 1140 fps at the muzzle, the nickel plated brass makes it easy to tell what it is in low light, and the bullets are hollow point with an plastic filler in the tip to allow penetration through clothing and then expand in the body. They are designed to NOT allow passing thru the body and hitting another person.

A: 1140 fps Muzzle velocity

A: Yes, they will work very well. Hordany critical defense is highly rated and for good reasons. It has great expansion, good penetration, great weight retention and minimum jacket separation. So yes I'd definitely recommend this. Plus I own the Ruger PC carbine the American flag edition and great gun and in my opinion would make a great defense weapon. Hope this helps.

A: Yes, Hornady makes a good round. The tapered bullet design works well in every type of firearm.

A: Yes this is a great for home deffense in a Ruger PC carbine, the longer barrel of the carbine is going to give this increased velocity, so it will hit harder and expand even better.

A: Milland, thanks for the update Sir. I have some from 3 or 4 years ago that was nickel plated and they stopped the nickeling about 2 years or so ago. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Yeah buds just probably never updated the description after they quit nickel plating them. I've noticed buds isn't the best when it comes to writing descriptions, but neither are half the other companies. Thanks for the update.

A: Hi David, yes sir, you can absolutely shoot these from your Glock 26. .....9mm, 9mm luger, and 9mm parabellum are all the same round. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Yes, 9mm ammo is the same as ammo designated 9x19mm. 9×19 may be the most straight-forward name for the cartridge. The "9" simply notes the diameter of the bullet, which is 9.01 millimeters. The "19" designates the length of the case, which is 19.15mm.
