Description

The Barnes TAC-XPD 9mm +P 115gr delivers maximum stopping power through solid copper construction and controlled expansion technology. This premium defensive ammunition combines Barnes' proven TAC-X bullet design with +P pressure loading for enhanced terminal performance when reliability matters most.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional jacketed hollow points that can separate or fragment, the TAC-XPD features a monolithic solid copper bullet that retains 100% of its weight upon impact. The engineered hollow point cavity expands reliably across a wide velocity range, creating consistent wound channels while penetrating through barriers like heavy clothing and wallboard. Independent ballistic testing shows 15-18 inches of penetration in calibrated gelatin with expansion ratios exceeding 1.5x original diameter.

Key Features

Solid copper construction eliminates core separation for maximum weight retention
+P pressure loading increases muzzle velocity to 1,200+ fps from 4-inch barrels
Engineered hollow point expands reliably through clothing and light barriers
Lead-free design reduces fouling and environmental concerns
Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and enhance feeding reliability
Low-flash powder reduces muzzle blast in low-light situations
Compatible with all 9mm Luger chamber specifications

Law enforcement agencies nationwide have adopted TAC-XPD ammunition for duty carry based on its consistent expansion and penetration characteristics. The solid copper construction maintains structural integrity when encountering automotive glass, heavy denim, or intermediate barriers that can cause conventional hollow points to plug and fail to expand. Range testing demonstrates sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards from quality pistols.
