10mm Auto - Hornady Critical Duty 175gr FlexLock - Exploded Cartridge Anatomy Model

This expanded cartridge display presents the 10mm Auto Hornady Critical Duty 175gr Flexlock as a visual study of a modern duty cartridge developed for law enforcement service use. Designed to balance penetration and controlled expansion through common barriers, the Critical Duty line is widely associated with duty pistols and service sidearms chambered in 10mm Auto. Rather than focusing on ballistic performance, this handmade model separates the cartridge into a clean, aligned configuration to illustrate internal construction and component relationships in a controlled, professional format intended for reference and educational display.
