![]() At 25-yards on plates, the bullets impacted inside the front sight, meaning that the target was obscured during firing. When it came to shooting plates, this load shot centered, but slightly low. Overall, this load pretty much shot to an inch for all practical purposes. The Critical Defense load produced an average group size of 1.2-inches with the smallest grouping at 1-inch and the largest group measuring 1.85-inches. When it came to steel plates, the ammunition was accurate, though it required a slight hold to the right of center. On paper, the 365 load delivered an average group size of 1.75-inches with the smallest grouping measuring 1.25-inches and the largest grouping coming in at 2.2-inches. The test was then moved to steel plates at various distances out to 25-yards. I shot five, five-shot groups with both the Hornady Critical Defense and Sig Sauer 365. To measure accuracy, the Glock 19X was placed in a rest at 15-yards. The Glock 19X brings a reliable, well-balanced and accurate design to pistol shooting. To remove any perceived bias from the review, I chose to shoot both ammunition from a Glock 19X - instead of potentially swaying any results by using the Sig Sauer P365. Accuracyīoth the Sig Sauer and Hornady ammo provide a steel, 9mm design. The bullet construction and velocity are meant to work in conjunction to deliver performance in small guns with the V-Crown bullet offering a traditional jacketed hollow point. The 365 ammo was designed primarily to be used in conjunction with Sig’s P365 line of micro-compact, high capacity self-defense pistols. They have done a great deal to expand into the ammo market, releasing some interesting products. Sig Sauer, on the other hand, is a new player in the ammunition scene. The Critical Defense line revolutionized concealed carry ammo due to its FTX tip, which does not clog or allow the bullet to fill with clothing or debris. Hornady has been well established on the ammunition scene for decades and has been responsible for some of the major advances in ammunition seen in recent years. They are both designed around compact self-defense guns but are equally at home in standard size pistols.

Reliable expansion and dependable terminal performance can be counted on for concealed carry and personal protection.Ĭritical Defense® Lite ammunition offers an effective, reduced recoil option for any shooter looking to minimize felt recoil of their lightweight, compact personal protection firearm. Premium low flash propellants deliver proven performance, even in very short-barreled handguns, and won't disrupt your vision.

The patented Flex Tip®technology used in Critical Defense® ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets. Since their inception, conventional hollow point pistol bullets have performed well, but have never delivered 100% reliability, especially in self-defense situations.
