Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Hornady Critical Duty and Critical Defense?
Critical Duty is designed for law enforcement and duty use in full-size handguns, prioritizing FBI-protocol barrier penetration through materials like auto glass, plywood, drywall, and sheet metal. Critical Defense is optimized for concealed carry in compact handguns, focusing on reliable expansion in bare and light-clothing-covered tissue without the same emphasis on hard barrier penetration. If you carry a full-size duty pistol or anticipate barriers in a defensive encounter, Critical Duty is the appropriate choice.
Is this +P ammunition safe to use in my 9mm pistol?
Hornady Critical Duty 9mm 124gr is loaded to +P pressure specifications, which exceed standard 9mm Luger pressures. Most modern full-size 9mm pistols from reputable manufacturers — including Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, and Beretta — are rated for +P ammunition. However, you should always consult your firearm's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm +P compatibility before use. Older, smaller, or budget-tier pistols may not be rated for sustained +P use.
How should I store this ammunition when not in use?
Store Hornady Critical Duty ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and moisture. The original box provides adequate short-term storage, but for long-term storage, an airtight ammo can with a desiccant packet is recommended. Avoid storing ammunition where temperatures fluctuate significantly, such as in a vehicle's glove compartment. Properly stored, quality brass-cased ammunition like this can remain reliable for a decade or more.
