Description
The Hornady Critical Defense .32 Auto (ACP) 60gr FTX (Hornady part no. 90063) pairs a 60-grain Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) with .32 Auto (ACP) chambering for shooters who want personal defense and everyday carry.

For handgun ammunition, this is a carry-and-forget load for the nightstand, the holster, or the range bag.
