Frequently Asked Questions
What makes FlexLock different from standard hollow point bullets?
The Hornady FlexLock bullet combines two key innovations: a Flex Tip insert that initiates reliable expansion even after the hollow point cavity becomes clogged passing through barriers, and an InterLock band that mechanically locks the bullet jacket to the lead core. This prevents the separation that can occur in standard hollow points after barrier penetration, ensuring maximum weight retention and consistent terminal performance in soft tissue.
Is this ammunition compatible with my 357 SIG pistol?
Yes — Hornady Critical Duty 357 SIG is loaded to SAAMI specifications and is compatible with any firearm chambered in 357 SIG, including popular duty pistols from Glock (G31, G32, G33), Sig Sauer (P229, P226), and others. Always verify your specific firearm's manual for ammunition recommendations, particularly if your pistol has a ported barrel or compensator.
How does Critical Duty compare to Critical Defense, and which should I choose?
Hornady Critical Duty is optimized for full-size duty pistols and is engineered to meet the FBI's demanding barrier penetration protocol — making it ideal for law enforcement and duty carry. Critical Defense, by contrast, is tuned for shorter-barreled concealed carry firearms and lighter clothing barriers. If you carry a full-size 357 SIG pistol and need consistent performance through hard barriers, Critical Duty is the right choice.
