The 25 rounds in each box of the Hornady Critical Defense .32 Auto (ACP) 60gr FTX Ammunition (Hornady part no. 90063) are .32 Auto (ACP) rounds loaded with a 60-grain FTX bullet. The bullet comes from Hornady, whose patented Flex Tip technology is meant to expand reliably and resist clogging when fired through heavy clothing. Muzzle figures from a 2-inch test barrel are 1000 fps and 133 ft-lb. The 100-yard numbers are 797 fps and 85 ft-lb. Premium low flash propellants are meant to keep the muzzle blast from disrupting your vision, a design aim Hornady states for the whole line.
