Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger +P 124gr FlexLock ammunition is designed for superior barrier penetration and consistent performance in full-size handguns. The FlexLock bullet features Hornady's patented Flex Tip design to eliminate clogging and aid expansion, while the InterLock band keeps the bullet and core from separating.
