FTX® BULLET TECHNOLOGY

The patented FTX® bullet expands reliably and resists clogging when fired through heavy clothing.

DEFENSE‑CENTERED DESIGN

Critical Defense® ammunition was developed to provide the best performance for defensive or personal protection situations and is the ultimate choice for any short barreled, concealed carry style firearm. Bright nickel‑plated cartridge cases simplify chamber checks in reduced light, and low‑flash propellants help preserve night vision.

DEPENDABLE

Details such as nickel‑plated cases that resist corrosion and optimized propellants that burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash, help ensure that Critical Defense® ammo is dependable in every situation.

Light & Compact

Critical Defense Lite® ammunition offers an effective, reduced recoil option for any shooter looking to minimize felt recoil of their lightweight, compact personal protection firearm.
