Hornady Critical Defense 9x18mm Makarov ammunition delivers reliable, effective self-defense performance in a classic Cold War-era pistol caliber. This 95 grain FTX load is engineered for the shooters who trust their Makarov, Tokarev, or other 9x18mm platform for personal protection. Hornady's Critical Defense line has earned respect among defensive shooters for consistent expansion and penetration, and this offering extends that proven formula to an underrated defensive cartridge.

Whether you're training with your Makarov or carrying it for protection, Critical Defense ammunition is purpose-built to perform when it counts—no filler, no compromise.
Each box contains 25 rounds ready to load and fire. The FTX projectile is designed to expand reliably across a range of real-world barriers and distances, delivering the stopping power you'd expect from Hornady's self-defense line. For Makarov owners and 9x18mm shooters who refuse to accept generic surplus or questionable ammunition, Critical Defense sets a standard you can count on.
