Hornady Critical Defense 410ga Triple Defense, 20rd Box

Hornady Critical Defense .410 Bore Triple Defense, 20-Round Box

Hornady Critical Defense .410 Bore Triple Defense ammunition combines a non-jacketed FTX slug with two .35-caliber lead round balls in each shotshell. Supplied in a 20-round box, this is a specialized defensive load rather than conventional birdshot.

The three-projectile column gives Triple Defense its name. Its FTX slug and lead-ball combination provide a distinct option for shooters evaluating .410 defensive ammunition in an approved firearm.

FTX Slug and Two Lead Round Balls

The projectile column contains one .41-caliber non-jacketed FTX slug above two .35-caliber round balls. The flexible tip assists slug expansion, while the high-antimony, cold-swaged lead balls are designed to resist deformation.

Specialized Triple Defense Construction

The FTX slug is designed to engage rifling and arrive nose first. This combination differs from a conventional all-buckshot or single-slug shotshell, making projectile construction a key consideration when comparing .410 defensive loads.

Firearm and Chamber Compatibility

Confirm that your firearm permits this exact .410 load. Match the shell length marked on the ammunition packaging to the firearm's chamber requirements, and follow its ammunition and choke instructions. A shared .410 bore designation alone does not establish compatibility.
