410 Bore 2.5" – Triple Defense FTX Slug Ammo – 20 Round Box
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS, GAUGE, SHELL LENGTH, LOCAL LAWS, AND SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS BEFORE PURCHASE.
Hornady Critical Defense 410 Bore 2.5" Triple Defense is a defensive shotshell load built with a unique projectile stack: one non-jacketed FTX slug backed by two .35 caliber round balls. It is designed for short-range defensive and personal-protection use where patterning, shell length, and firearm compatibility matter hard.
This 20-round box gives .410 shooters a serious-use option instead of basic birdshot, slug-only loads, or cheap buckshot boxes. It is purpose-built defensive .410 ammo — small shell, mean little payload, and absolutely not something to buy without verifying your firearm first.
Ammo / Defensive Reality Check
- This is 410 Bore shotshell ammunition. Verify your firearm is chambered for .410 bore.
- This is a 2.5-inch shell. Do not assume it is the same as 3-inch .410 ammunition.
- Projectile stack includes one FTX slug and two .35 caliber round balls.
- Hornady developed this load for defensive and personal-protection situations.
- Pattern and function test this load in your actual firearm before trusting it. Defensive ammo without testing is just expensive hope in a fancy box.
What It Does
This load sends a Triple Defense projectile column from a 2.5-inch .410 bore shell, giving compatible .410 firearms a defensive load built to place multiple projectiles on target at short range.
Why It’s Worth It
Hornady Critical Defense 410 is made for the exact role people buy defensive .410 ammo for: close-range protection with a purpose-built projectile stack. The FTX slug and round-ball combination gives this load more serious intent than basic .410 birdshot. It costs more because it is doing more. Funny how that keeps happening.

Disclaimers
Ammo is more than metal and powder — it’s the embodiment of freedom. We sell freedom in brass cases. Sadly, some states fear that truth and hate freedom.
Freedom-Hating Zones: AK, CA, CT, D.C, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY, RI — and any other state that thinks neutering the 2A makes them safer. We don’t ship there. Period.
Paperwork States: If your overlords demand permits, IDs, or FFL transfers, cough up the documents or your order dies in Valhalla’s spam folder.
Age: You must be legal age (18+ long gun ammo, 21+ handgun ammo).
We know it’s not your fault — freedom is often punished where it should be honored. But remember, rights not defended are rights surrendered. If you want to breathe freer air, everything’s bigger in Texas — the skies, the BBQ, and most of all, the freedom. Pack your bags, bring your appetite, and join us.
