"Critical Defense lite"? I think you need to let us all know what you think of it.
(Since I don't drink 'lite' beer.... I'd probably not be a fan of 'lite' ammo either)

Let me get to the range. Right now I have a bunch of Corbon 115 gr jhp +p. I was reading the Hornady 100 gr was made for 3 in barrels. It is supposed to tame the recoil some. Penetrates 11.5 inches in Heavy clothing gel tests. Be glad to report back.
It's just a light for caliber bullet for less felt recoil in lighter guns. This explains the pink packaging.

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...
DIL carries this ammo in her small frame Glock 9mm. It does soften the recoil especially in the short grip of the compact 9's. Terminal performance? It's sort of a 1/2 way step between .380 and 9mm. I wouldn't totally discount it's usefulness.
My main concern would be how well it cycles in a semi-auto.... I'd want it to be well proven in any carry gun of mine.
I got a chuckle out of the 'pink packaging'. I'm all in favor of breast cancer research but the whole pink thing is a tad over marketed in my mind.
But then at the rate I'm going I might actually one day need help with that.... anyone know where I can get a man-bra or 'Bro'zere?

If it doesn't cycle reliably or shoot accurately it's absolutely useless. I'm pushing these 90gr Lehigh's around 1,500fps. Cycles reliably and is minimally accurate.

Back to the basics. I have some Pilgrim 60 gr gazillion fos. Just can't get comfortable with that
I got first fibbies on the accessories
Agreed. I think it's interesting how corporations gave to go out to show how involved they are. IThe reason I got it was I ran some +p Corbons through it and it was pretty jumpy for me. After reading the reviews I figured it's made by a reliable company, and if it lives up to the lower recoil promised it should afford quicker follow up shots. I hate thinking like this but as said elsewhere, I am the slow deer at the watering hole now and I don't intend to be a gift to any thing imported or domestic

I have tried out the Hornady Critical Defense Lite in my LC9 and have seen no function issues. Certainly less snappy than regular 9mm rounds but maybe a bit more so than the 380 LCPmax. YMMV Etc.
