DoubleTap Ammunition's .40 S&W 135gr JHP is purpose-built for defensive applications where barrier penetration and controlled expansion are equally critical. With a muzzle velocity of 1375 fps and energy delivery of 567 ft-lbs, this load balances stopping power with shot placement reliability—characteristics that make it a serious choice for home defense and duty carry scenarios.
The Controlled Expansion™ JHP bullet demonstrates measured performance in ballistic gelatin testing: 11.75 inches of penetration and .68 inches of expansion. This combination resists over-penetration through intermediate barriers while transferring sufficient energy to incapacitate threats effectively. The 135-grain projectile maintains velocity and terminal integrity across the velocity ranges typical of .40 S&W duty loads, making it a consistent performer across different barrel lengths and platform configurations.
This ammunition serves law enforcement, security professionals, and civilian defensive shooters who require reliable expansion without excessive barrier blind-fire risk. The .40 S&W caliber itself offers a middle ground between 9mm capacity and larger caliber stopping power—a ballistic trade-off that remains relevant in professional defensive contexts. Each box contains 20 rounds, supporting range qualification, duty carry practice, and defensive readiness without excessive bulk.
