frontierman95 10 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Either will do the trick as long as you do your job. I realize that, but in a defense situation (home or parking area) is the critical duty too much or the critical defense too little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Duty offers better penetration which is a drawback if you shoot inside your home and miss(whats on the other side of that wall?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 http://www.hornady.com/store/critical_defense/ http://www.hornady.com/store/Critical-Duty/ Honestly, I don't see a whole lot of difference between the two...maybe a slight penetration difference (more with the Duty) but seems to be better expansion with the Defense. FWIW, I carry the Defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frontierman95 10 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks for your help. I had watched all the videos and looked at the expansion test. I just wanted someone's personal opinion. It is for a 9mm. In my home invasion scenario, I don't think it is too much of a concern. I was more concerned in a parking lot scenario. I was leaning towards defense, but going with the heavier bullet. GMan: Ever have any problem with misfeeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
