ATTENTION - FYI - YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON THIS
I HAVE BEEN GETTING MANY PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ASKING WHY THEY ARE HAVING IGNITION PROBLEMS WITH "HORNADY CRITICAL DEFENSE AMMO".
THEIR AMMUNITION IS GOING "CLICK" INSTEAD OF "BANG"
I HAVE HAD DIRECT CORRESPONDENCE WITH HORNADY AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT THEY ARE USING FOREIGN PRIMERS IN THEIR CRITICAL DEFENSE AMMUNITION.
SUGGEST YOU CONTACT HORNADY DIRECT.
DO IT NOW
Phone: 1-800-338-3220
Phone: 308-382-1390 Hornady Critical Defense 115gr FTX ammo is a high velocity ammo that does show definite signs of high pressure (see picture below) when used in my R9 pistol. The primers on the fired cases are flat and the firing pin strikes are more than flat - they are actually scrapped across the surface of the primer. I only fired five rounds as I did not like what I was seeing. I also experienced misfires (three out of five rounds). A second pull of the trigger fired the round. Accuracy was excellent but the flat and scrapped primers are not something I feel comfortable with.
LEFT TWO CASES ARE BERDAN AND ONE ON RIGHT IS BOXER CASE.....................................................................................................................................................................
BOXER PRIMERS are used for American cases
BERDAN PRIMERS are used for Foreign cases
THIS IS WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU IF IN A SOCIAL ENCOUNTER YOUR AMMUNITION FAILS TO FIRE - YOU WILL GET A TOE TAG AND AN AUTOPSY AND A FUNERAL AND A PINE BOX.

This page will be updated, before, during, and after the 2009 SHOT Show, with photos and commentary.
My first stop was the Cooper Arms booth. Here is a cutaway of an M21 Phoenix:
And, here is a photo of my dad with Laura Kelly:
The Microtech booth had a large selection of their MSAR 556 rifles, including digital camo versions and one with a suppressor:
The Steyr Arms booth, on the other hand, had several samples of genuine AUG rifles, though in a single configuration:
The Heckler & Koch booth had the usual assortment of pistols, meaning nothing new on that front except for a P30L, and a couple walls of other toys:
Springfield Armory, of course, had their new XDM pistols, in 9mm and .40 Auto, on display:
They wouldn't say anything about an XDM in .45 Auto, but I am guessing that it is coming. Here is a closeup of the XDM's three backstrap sizes (from left to right: Large, Medium, and Small):
And, here is a tricked out XDM:
Rob Leatham was at the Springfield Armory booth, and I was able to get a photo of him:
Carl Walther's new offering this year is the PK380, which seems like a cross between the P22 and P99:
Kahr had a very cool cutaway K9 on display, which showed the inner workings of the pistol:
They also had their new Black Rose Edition PM9, which sports a highly polished slide with special engraving, and they had it with and without Crimson Trace's brand new LaserGrips for the same pistol:
For those wondering, Colt still plans to introduce the Delta Elite as they showed at last year's SHOT Show, but they also plan to release an original Delta Elite, shown below:
And, here are a couple Colt rifles:
The Sig-Sauer booth was large and extensive, and was not a disappointment. Here is a P226 X-6 wearing Nill Master grips:
I also spotted a digital camo P250 (mid-size) with threaded barrel:
The Sig 556 pistol is a popular crowd-pleaser:
Here is the full-size P250 in .45 Auto:
And the subcompact-size in 9mm:
The Sig-Sauer P238, chambered in .380 Auto, which seems very Colt Mustang-like (small and thin), was also on display, in a couple different forms:
Here is a non-firing training P226 with red anodized frame:
And a simunitions version with blue anodized frame:
Another P226 color variation:
Obviously, something for the next Prairie Dog Safari:
This was neat. A Sig 556 and P226 set in matching digital camo:
My first pass through the Smith & Wesson booth didn't show much in the way of new things, except for these red and blue M&Ps:
The Dillon booth had a minigun on display, apparently to demonstrate a need for a progressive reloading press:
Glock had their new RTF2 (Rough Texture Frame 2) Glock 22 on display, which has not only a new frame texturing, but also new slide serrations:
AimPoint had a new sight that was interesting:
The CZ 75 SP-01 Phantom, which is an SP-01 with polymer frame:
Hungarian AK:
BrainOnSigs is really, really thinking that he needs a pair of GSG-5s (aka, twin Tactical 38Ds):
(Sorry, Anji, I couldn't resist!)
That is all for now.
