5.7X28MM HORNADY CRITICAL DEFENSE 40 GRAIN JHP (25 ROUNDS)

Do you know why it’s called “5.7x28mm?” It’s not just to indicate the bullet diameter and case length. It’s also because the average 5.7x28mm appreciator has an IQ of 5,728. That’s why you already know that Hornady’s Critical Defense ammo will make a perfect finishing touch to your EDC or home defense carbine.

This round’s ballistic performance is perfectly normal for the 5.7x28mm, with a 40 grain projectile that achieves 1,810 fps muzzle velocity out of Hornady’s 4.8” test barrel. If you carry a Five-seveN, then you can expect the same kind of ballistic performance at the range or on the streets.

Hornady designed the FTX to do away with the jacketed hollow point bullet’s chief shortcoming. The distinctive red polymer Flex Tip inside the bullet’s nose cavity helps keep the bullet free and clear of fabric and other debris. The payoff is more reliable terminal expansion – and you want reliable terminal expansion when your target intends to do you immediate bodily harm.

Don’t let muzzle flash rob you of your perceptive faculties! Thanks to Hornady’s flash-suppressed propellant, you won’t get instantly blinded as soon as you squeeze trig in the dark.
