In the realm of self-defense, reliability and performance are paramount. The 9mm+P 115gr Barnes TAC-XP stands as a testament to these virtues. This load is crafted with precision, featuring a solid copper bullet that delivers exceptional penetration and expansion while ensuring complete weight retention.
This lead-free ammunition is engineered for versatility across various scenarios. Rigorous testing reveals its capability to penetrate consistently at a depth of 13.25 inches into ballistic gelatin, with an impressive .69-inch expansion diameter. Such performance metrics remain unchanged whether the projectile encounters common barriers like auto glass, sheet metal, drywall, or heavy clothing before reaching its target.
The ballistics speak for themselves: achieving velocities of up to 1250 feet per second with an energy transfer of approximately 445 foot-pounds from a Glock G17 platform and maintaining formidable force even from shorter barrels such as the Glock G19 at speeds of around 1200 feet per second yielding about 393 foot-pounds.
When every shot counts in critical moments where your life may depend on it, this round offers unparalleled assurance through consistent results under diverse conditions—affirming itself as the definitive choice in high-stakes engagements.
