Barnes Tac-xpd 40sw 140gr Hp 20/200

The Barnes TAC-XPD 40 S&W 140 grain hollow point ammunition delivers proven performance for personal defense and duty carry. Built on Barnes' all-copper TAC-XP bullet technology, this load achieves 1,120 feet per second from standard .40 S&W platforms and is engineered specifically for consistent expansion and controlled penetration in threat-stopping scenarios.

The 140-grain hollow point cavity is designed for rapid expansion while maintaining deep, reliable penetration through common barriers. The all-copper construction eliminates fragmentation, producing predictable wound channels essential for defensive use. The velocity specification of 1,120 fps provides a balance between recoil management and terminal performance—critical for shooters requiring fast, accurate follow-up shots in high-stress situations. TAC-XPD ammunition is loaded to standard pressures and functions reliably in both law enforcement duty weapons and civilian defensive pistols chambered in .40 S&W.

This ammunition is built for armed professionals, law enforcement officers, and serious civilian defenders who prioritize terminal performance and shot-to-shot consistency. The .40 S&W platform remains widespread in patrol and tactical units, and the TAC-XPD load addresses the demand for modern, proven defensive ammunition backed by extensive real-world testing and ballistic validation.

Barnes ammunition is known for engineering ammunition that performs in duty and defensive roles. The TAC-XPD line specifically targets the professional and serious civilian market with ammunition designed to meet the demands of real-world defensive encounters, rather than generic range loads or bargain-priced alternatives.
