Dbltap 45acp+p 160gr Schp 20/1000

DoubleTap Ammunition's 45 ACP+P 160gr Schp load represents a purpose-built personal defense cartridge engineered for maximum stopping effectiveness in critical incidents. Built around the Barnes TAC-XP all-copper projectile, this round delivers 100% weight retention and .82-inch expansion across all ballistic testing protocols—the hallmark of a duty-grade defensive load that functions reliably across varied barrier conditions.

The load generates 1,200 feet per second muzzle velocity and 512 foot-pounds of energy measured from a standard 5-inch 1911 platform. This velocity-energy combination sits firmly in the +P performance envelope, delivering the velocity boost that the .45 ACP cartridge was designed for without excessive pressure spikes. The Barnes TAC-XP bullet construction—lead-free, monolithic copper construction—eliminates fragmentation concerns while ensuring consistent performance through intermediate barriers encountered in defensive scenarios.

This ammunition serves operators, law enforcement personnel, and trained civilians who carry .45 ACP+P capable pistols for serious defensive purposes. The 160-grain bullet weight maintains the cartridge's signature penetration profile while the all-copper design addresses both environmental and range safety concerns. Each 20-round box is loaded to +P specification, making compatibility verification with your platform essential before purchase—confirm your firearm is rated for +P loads.

The .45 ACP+P category occupies a distinct position in the defensive ammunition spectrum, bridging the gap between standard .45 ACP ballistics and the terminal performance demands of modern defensive doctrine. Lead-free ammunition like this formulation also accommodates range environments and jurisdictions with environmental restrictions on traditional lead ammunition.
