Hornady Critical Defense 38 Spl +P 110gr FTX HP 90311 Overview

Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special 110 grain hollow point 90311 ammo puts a 110-grain FTX bullet into a +P-rated 38 Special cartridge. This combination offers a lighter defensive projectile than traditional 158-grain revolver practice loads, while the +P marking requires a separate compatibility decision.

The FTX nose insert helps keep fabric from packing into the cavity and interfering with the intended expansion mechanism. Hornady lists 1,090 fps for this ammunition, a factory specification that should not be confused with the standard-pressure 110-grain version. The pressure distinction is important in small revolvers, where caliber markings alone do not establish approval for +P loads.

Especially with fixed sights, a 110-grain bullet can produce a different impact location from a 158-grain lead load. The 25-round box lets owners of +P-rated revolvers check where this ammo strikes compared with their customary practice cartridge. Choosing this Critical Defense variant requires both the correct pressure approval and an evaluation of the actual FTX projectile in the intended handgun.
