Hornady Critical Duty 9mm +P 135gr FlexLock JHP 90226 Overview

Hornady Critical Duty 9mm 135 grain bonded jacketed hollow point 90226 ammo is the +P version of Hornady's 135-grain FlexLock 9mm concept. Its reinforced bullet combines a cavity-filling flexible tip with mechanical jacket retention, while the higher-pressure designation separates it from standard-pressure Critical Duty 90236.

The Flex Tip is intended to limit cavity clogging, and Hornady's InterLock band is designed to resist jacket-and-core separation during deformation. Hornady publishes 1,110 fps for this ammunition. The exact 135-grain +P Critical Duty loading was selected under a Federal Bureau of Investigation full-size service-pistol contract, a model-specific adoption that helps distinguish it from ordinary range cartridges.

Owners should verify +P approval and evaluate the 135-grain FlexLock directly, rather than using the standard-pressure version's similar appearance as evidence of identical behavior. The service-oriented design does not eliminate the need to establish feeding and point of impact in the individual firearm. Hornady packages 25 nickel-plated-brass rounds of this ammo for use in properly rated 9mm pistols.
