Report: FBI Contracts with Hornady for Critical Duty .40 S&W

[45dotACP]

Not sure how selling to .gov folks go but for me, 135gr Critical Duty is cheaper than most Federal or Winchester options...

I'm a huge fan of it for how accurate it is too.

Having not Googled my recollections, I thought .40 CD didn't fare so well in testing...

Don't forget that Critical Duty is not the same as Critical Defense.

I’m fully aware.

Doesn't the FBI have 40 cal MP5s??

10mm but most have been pulled from service and replaced with 11.5" M4's.

Exactly. Though several years ago they bought some Rock River AR pattern carbines in 40 to test. Proprietary and unproven mags seem to be what worried most of them from what I remember. Thankfully that idea never gained any momentum.

ETA: I do find it interesting that the Speer G2 in 40 didn't get the contract. I know they tested it.
