The DoubleTap 380A95CE Defense ammunition delivers controlled expansion performance specifically engineered for concealed carry applications. This 95-grain jacketed hollow point cartridge maximizes stopping power while maintaining reliable feeding in compact pistols.
What Makes This Different
DoubleTap's controlled expansion technology ensures consistent mushrooming across various barrier materials, unlike standard hollow points that may plug or under-expand. The 95-grain projectile weight provides optimal balance between velocity and penetration depth, meeting FBI protocol standards for defensive ammunition. Advanced powder formulation generates consistent velocities even from short-barrel pistols common in the .380 ACP platform.
Key Features
- 95-grain jacketed hollow point with controlled expansion design
- Optimized powder charge for 950+ fps from 3.5-inch barrels
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and enhance extraction
- Consistent 12-15 inch penetration depth in ballistic gelatin
- Feeds reliably in popular .380 platforms including Glock 42, Ruger LCP
- 20-round boxes packaged in 50-case quantities for training consistency
- Low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light scenarios
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion through heavy clothing, drywall, and automotive glass while maintaining structural integrity. The ammunition functions consistently in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for year-round carry. Accuracy testing shows 2-inch groups at 15 yards from quality pistols, with minimal point-of-impact shift compared to practice ammunition.
