The red Flex Tip filling inside the Critical Duty’s JHP cavity prevents the hollow point cavity from becoming clogged with clothing or barrier material, aiding consistent and reliable expansion.

If your pistol ammo won’t pass this multi-stage test, most police departments won’t even consider it for their duty ammunition. The case is nickel-plated.Ī brief aside, this ammunition was designed and built specifically to not just pass but excel in the FBI Ammunition Testing Protocol. Perhaps the most popular load in the Critical Duty line is the 9mm +P, which features a 135-grain bullet at an advertised 1,110 fps.
