[QUOTE="Mr E, post: 3496619, member: 45870"] I don't mind posting it here, it might help someone else who might not know the difference either! And honestly, I like sharing information I feel is important when it comes to guns/ammo...what little I know. Still learning as a newbie gun owner! Anyways, this' from Hornady's own site: "[URL='https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/critical-defense']Critical Defense®[/URL] handgun ammunition was developed to provide the best performance for [B]DEFENSIVE[/B] or [B]PERSONAL PROTECTION SITUATIONS[/B] and is the ultimate choice for any short barreled, concealed carry style firearm. The [URL='https://www.hornady.com/bullets/ftx']FTX®[/URL] bullets loaded in all Critical Defense® handgun ammunition are designed to expand and provide the terminal performance needed for close encounters often associated with personal protection situations. Given that, Critical Defense® is [B]NOT[/B] intended for use in extreme (law enforcement) situations that require superior barrier performance.* The FTX® bullet will expand reliably and will not clog like standard hollow point bullets when fired through heavy clothing.* Additionally, Critical Defense® ammunition [B]IS[/B] optimized for short barreled, concealed carry style handguns and will not deliver excessive recoil and associated muzzle flip." vs "[URL='https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/critical-duty']Critical DUTY®[/URL] handgun ammunition is built to meet the needs and requirements of [B]LAW ENFORCEMENT[/B] and [B]TACTICAL PROFESSIONALS[/B], as well as those law abiding citizens who prefer a full-size handgun for their personal protection and demand superior barrier penetration and subsequent terminal performance. The FlexLock® bullets loaded in all Critical DUTY® offerings are rugged, heavy jacketed bullets that deliver virtually "barrier blind" performance (i.e. total penetration, weight retention and expansion are practically the same) when shot through common urban barriers* (bare gelatin, auto glass, sheet metal, plywood, drywall, heavy clothing*). In addition, Critical DUTY® loads are "full power loads" designed to function full-size handgun slides. Although designed to work flawlessly in [B]ALL[/B] handguns, these loads are [B]NOT[/B] optimized for short barreled, concealed carry style handguns; they will deliver standard recoil during firing." TLDR: I would want Critical Defense rounds for my EDC... You know, if I carried. ;-) [/QUOTE]
