9mm + P – 124 Gr FlexLock – Hornady Critical Duty (90216) – 250 Rounds

This 9mm +P load (90216) delivers strong defensive performance with consistent expansion and reliable barrier handling. Hornady builds it around the 124 grain FlexLock bullet. That design uses a polymer tip, a mechanical lock between jacket and core, and a cannelure to prevent setback. As a result, the round maintains integrity during feeding and impact. Therefore, it performs predictably when conditions are not ideal.

Hornady rates this load at 1,175 fps and 380 ft-lbs of energy. The +P pressure increases velocity compared to standard loads. Consequently, the bullet carries more energy into the target. In addition, the 124 grain weight balances speed and control. So, shooters get strong performance without excessive recoil. This matters in home defense where accuracy and follow-up shots are critical.

The FlexLock bullet focuses on controlled expansion. It resists clogging from heavy clothing. It also maintains structure through intermediate barriers. Moreover, Hornady uses low-flash propellants. That helps preserve vision in low-light environments. Nickel-plated cases improve corrosion resistance and allow easier chamber checks. As a result, the round supports real-world defensive conditions.

Packaging supports serious use. Each box contains 25 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds. This gives the buyer enough ammunition for function testing and readiness. You can confirm reliability in your firearm and store the remaining supply. Hornady loads this ammunition in nickel-plated brass cases with Boxer primers, making it reloadable.

For the buyer, the purpose is clear. You get a duty-grade defensive load. You get controlled expansion with barrier performance. And you get a 250-round case that supports preparedness.
