22 WMR HORNADY CRITICAL DEFENSE 45 GRAIN FTX (500 ROUNDS)

A mouse gun may not have nearly as much power as what a full-sized 1911 offers, but it’s its tiny size that gives it its appeal. Being able to carry a pistol inconspicuously wherever you go is paramount for making sure you’ll be able to come out of a dangerous encounter in one piece. If you have a little revolver, then this 22 WMR cartridge from Hornady’s Critical Defense line of ammunition is a great investment in your safety.

This is an extremely reliable cartridge with significant stopping power for its size. Its nickel plated brass casing feeds and ejects dependably, and will stave off corrosion that could have compromised your ability to defend yourself. Its propellant is also treated to prevent a bright muzzle flash that would have blinded you in the dark. (Any self-defense expert would tell you that being able to see is important during a fight. It’s part of the reason why our visually impaired friends so often team up with German Shepherds.)

This cartridge’s 45 grain FTX projectile is another factor behind its superior reliability. The bullet’s ability to expand widely is protected by the Flex Tip that sits in its hollow point nose cavity -- that same Flex Tip also initiates expansion upon impact. The FTX penetrates deeply as well, to a depth as long as 11” in ballistic gel. No one would sign up to be on the receiving end of an FTX!
