Hornady Critical Duty LE 357 Sig Ammunition 135 Grain FlexLock - 91295
Hornady Critical Duty LE 357 SIG ammunition is built for professional law enforcement and tactical users who require dependable performance under real-world conditions. Each round is loaded with the patented FlexLock bullet, which combines a Flex Tip insert to prevent clogging with a robust InterLock band that mechanically binds the jacket to the core. This design ensures maximum weight retention, excellent expansion, and consistent penetration for reliable terminal performance. Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and enhance visibility for chamber checks in low-light environments, while low-flash propellant preserves night vision during critical operations. Purpose-built for duty, this load offers the accuracy, dependability, and stopping power needed in high-pressure scenarios.

- Barrier Performance: The Hornady FlexLock bullet expands and maintains structural integrity, delivering "barrier blind" performance through urban barriers like sheet metal and auto glass.
- Technology Enhancements: Includes Flex Tip technology and InterLock band for improved ballistic performance and bullet retention.
- Versatile Application: Engineered for tactical applications through all FBI-protocol urban barriers.
- Packaging: Sold in boxes of 50 and a case of 500 rounds. All bulk cases include free shipping through Target Sports USA.
