9mm + P – 135 Gr FlexLock – Hornady Critical Duty (90226) – 250 Rounds

Looking for a 9mm duty load built to perform through barriers? Pick up this 250 round case of Hornady Critical Duty 90226 9mm +P 135 grain FlexLock ammo.

Hornady designed the Critical Duty line for law enforcement, where bullets must perform after passing through heavy clothing, auto glass, drywall, and sheet metal. The 135 grain FlexLock bullet combines two features to make that happen. The Flex Tip fills the hollow point cavity, so it cannot clog with fabric or debris and fail to open. The InterLock band locks the jacket to the core, so the bullet holds together and keeps its weight as it penetrates. The result is consistent expansion and penetration that meets the demanding FBI test protocols. Hornady rates this +P load at 1,110 fps and 369 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. It also uses low-flash propellants to help protect your night vision in low light.

The 135 grain weight splits the difference between common 124 and 147 grain 9mm defensive loads, giving you strong penetration with manageable +P recoil. Use it only in pistols rated for +P ammunition, which includes most modern duty pistols such as the Glock 17 and 19, SIG P320 and P365, Smith & Wesson M&P, and Beretta 92. Since you should practice with the same ammo you carry, a 250 round case lets you confirm reliability in your pistol, run qualification drills, and rotate your carry ammo on a regular schedule. It is a trusted choice for police officers, armed professionals, and anyone who wants duty-grade performance for concealed carry or home defense.

This American-made Hornady ammo is new production, nickel-plated brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. Nickel plating resists corrosion and feeds smoothly, but we do not recommend these cases for reloading. Each box holds 25 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 250 round case. Store extra boxes in a cool, dry place.
