Hornady Critical Defense Standard Issue For PA Troopers?

[wrinkles]

Anybody know if this is true? I thought Hornady Critical Defense didn't pass FBI protocol.

I was talking to a state police man , standard issue is critical D in 40 cal and stand issue gun is the XD 40 . He said some barrics are switching to critical duty which is not on the dr Roberts list mainly because it is so new for 2012 .

I'm in PA and friends with a number of troopers. 45 Gap is the pistol of choice. I will check on issue ammo in the AM.

Nevermind.

OK now the guy is saying it's Philadelphia PD that issues Critical Defense. How it it possible if CD doesn't pass FBI protocol?

Critical Duty passes the FBI test's.

Nope he says they (PD) is fixing to go to C Duty soon but as of now they are using D defense.

some barrics are switching over to the critical duty, in fact many use the critical defense as is .... Also according to the horses mouth.

The last I knew the PA troopers were carrying the .45GAP, which doesn't have loads available with the CD bullet.

No, they do not carry the CD ammo or issue it for duty use.
