Hornady Critical Defense FTX 22 Magnum is designed as a self defense loading for short barreled pistols. This loading features a nickel plated casing.  The FTX — at the forefront of Critical Defense — maximizes the potential of a hollow point bullet. Its patented Flex Tip aids expansion and eliminates clogging when passing through clothing. Low-flash propellants won’t disrupt night vision and deliver consistent performance, every time. Rated for 1000 feet per second out of a 2 inch barrel.
