If you’re looking to set your Colt SAA or Taurus Judge up
for home defense, this .45 Colt load from Hornady’s Critical Defense line might
be your best bet. Hornady has combined this classic cartridge with the latest
in bullet technology, loading a 185 grain FTX Flex Tip bullet to a muzzle
velocity of 920 feet per second. The soft polymer-tipped jacketed hollow point
offers strong penetration through heavy clothing for reliable self defense.
This load is optimized to perform well in any barrel length, including that of
the Judge. Each box of 20 rounds uses Boxer-primed, nickel-plated brass cases.
