In the realm of personal defense, choosing the right ammunition can be as critical as selecting your firearm. Enter DoubleTap's .40 S&W load, a formidable choice for those who carry concealed weapons (CCW). This round is not just about power; it’s about precision and efficiency in high-stakes situations.
The heart of this offering lies in its bullet—a 125-grain Barnes TAC-XP that is lead-free, aligning with modern environmental standards without compromising on performance. Developed specifically by Barnes for DoubleTap, this projectile exemplifies cutting-edge ballistic technology.
This cartridge manifests impressive velocity and energy transfer. From a standard Glock 23 with a 4-inch barrel, expect velocities around 1390 feet per second delivering an impactful force of 536 foot-pounds. Even when fired from shorter barrels like a 3.5-inch configuration, it maintains substantial speed at 1295 fps and offers an energetic punch of 468 ft/lbs. In longer barrels reaching up to 4.5 inches, you’ll see velocities soar to approximately 1445 fps with stopping power peaking at an impressive 580 ft/lbs.
A key feature that sets this load apart is its minimal muzzle flash—an essential trait for maintaining visibility during low-light engagements where most defensive scenarios occur.
For those serious about their safety and seeking reliability under duress, DoubleTap’s .40 S&W stands out as more than mere ammunition; it's a statement of preparedness backed by superior ballistics engineering.
