Yes the Critical Duty line was suppose to used in duty sized guns, with longer barrels, but even when I shot the 9mm Critical duty out of my G34 5.31" barrel, the expansion was minimal, im with you on not using it as carry ammo, there is a lot better rounds out there that perform much better...There seems to be a lot of tests that show the Hornady Critical line of ammo with the plastic tip does not expand at all. I shot mine at the range and would not carry it unless I wanted the same almost as FMJ. I don't think they tested this ammo in any kind of carry gun. Probably would do fine out of a longer barrel.
You can look at how it did against the FBI test protocols here- Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Ammunition :: Handgun :: Choose by Product Line :: Critical DUTY®Just curious as to if anyone has every used this ammo or knows anything about it.
