Grand Island, NE – The editorial staff at Concealed Carry Magazine and the USCCA hand-selected 30 of the industry’s best products within three categories — firearms, holsters and ammunition. Through an unbiased online voting system, USCCA members, subscribers and followers voted for their favorite products among 10 nominees in each respective category. The awards presentation took place at the USCCA Concealed Carry Expo in Fort Worth, Texas, on April 8, 2017.

Hornady Critical Defense® ammunition was awarded “Top Ammo.”

Since their inception, conventional hollow point pistol bullets have performed well, but have never delivered 100% reliability especially in self-defense situations. The patented Flex Tip® technology used in Critical Defense® ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets.

“We are honored and thrilled to receive a USCCA Members’ Choice Award,” comments Steve Hornady, company president. “There’s nothing more satisfying than receiving recognition from the consumers who use our products day-in and day-out.”
