Deep Dive

Overview

Hornady Critical Defense 9x18mm Makarov Ammunition is tailored specifically for personal protection. Its Flex Tip bullet design allows it to defeat intermediate barriers (like heavy clothing) without hindering expansion, ensuring that the projectile performs optimally on target. The 9x18mm Makarov caliber is popular for compact and subcompact pistols, ideal for concealed carry and personal defense situations.

History and Development

Developed by Hornady Manufacturing, a leader in ammunition innovation, the Critical Defense line was created to address the limitations of conventional hollow point rounds. Recognizing the need for reliable expansion every time, Hornady integrated the Flex Tip technology, which prevents clogging and initiates expansion effectively. The 9x18mm Makarov caliber has its roots in military use, and adaptations like the Critical Defense 95 Grain offer civilians military-grade dependability for self-defense needs.
