I’ve tried multiple brands and different versions of hollow-point defensive ammo through the years, but the Hornady Critical Defense ammo is hands down my favorite for CCW and every home defense situation. It’s accurate, dependable, and not ungodly expensive.

Received order promptly. Came well packaged. I bought it at a sale price that couldn't be beat. I am a fan of Hornady products and I really like Opticsplanet.com and its fine service. I will be a repeat customer for sure.

Hornady is some of the best ammo made to date in my opinion. It is tested and retested by me, myself, and I! Hey, why let someone else have all the fun! For some of those who say why not get cheap target rounds, well these rounds expand when fired and can travel differently so i would rather keep consistancy!
