Double Tap 45 Auto Lead-Free Defense Load
This is a thoughtfully engineered cartridge developed specifically for defensive use. Double Tap has created a load that balances the shooter's need for manageable recoil with the terminal performance required in a personal defense scenario.
Ballistic Performance
- Velocity: 1050 feet per second
- Energy: 392 foot-pounds
- Bullet: 160-grain Barnes TAC-XP lead-free hollow point
- Penetration: Approximately 15 inches in 10% ordnance gelatin
- Expansion: Opens reliably to .81 inches
Why This Load Works
The 160-grain bullet weight is lighter than traditional 45 Auto defensive loads, which contributes to the soft-shooting characteristics without sacrificing the stopping power the caliber is known for. The Barnes TAC-XP hollow point is engineered to expand consistently while maintaining deep penetration—the hallmark of effective defensive ammunition.
This is not a +P load, making it suitable for a wider range of firearms while still delivering the performance you need when it matters most.
The Right Choice
Whether you're new to defensive shooting or an experienced marksman, this ammunition offers the reliability and performance expected from a purpose-built personal defense round. The lead-free construction makes it environmentally responsible without compromise.
