I was looking at this ammo at a gun show and it looks just like Hornady's "critical defense" ammo with a neon green tip versus the normal red tip.

OBTW, the "critical defense" ammo is very good defense ammo. It is designed to penetrate approximately 12 inches and mushroom very well. For .380 ammunition it costs about $1.25 a round. Not cheap, but if it penetrates in the body like it is supposed to, then it will be very effective. The green/red tip keeps the hollow point from being clogged up from your attacker's clothing when it penetrates; which has been a problem with hollow point ammo.

Hornady even makes a .22 Magnum CD round. It launches at over 1000 fps out of a 2” barrel and gets 9-11” of penetration in gel with an almost 100% weight retention. It’s perfect for a S&W 351PD backup.
