The DoubleTap Ammunition 40135CE delivers consistent terminal performance for home defense applications with its 135-grain jacketed hollow point design. This premium .40 S&W load balances expansion reliability with manageable recoil characteristics. DoubleTap's manufacturing process ensures uniform powder charges and precise bullet seating for shot-to-shot consistency.
What Makes This Different
DoubleTap's 135-grain JHP configuration sits between lightweight high-velocity rounds and heavy subsonic loads, providing optimal expansion at typical home defense distances. The jacketed hollow point design features a controlled expansion cavity that opens reliably in ballistic gelatin testing while maintaining structural integrity. This load generates approximately 1,200 fps muzzle velocity from a 4-inch barrel, delivering 432 foot-pounds of energy.
Key Features
- 135-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
- Temperature-stable powder charge maintains velocity across climate conditions
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
- 20-round packaging reduces moisture exposure during storage
- Compatible with all .40 S&W chambered firearms
- SAAMI specification compliance ensures safe chamber pressures
This ammunition performs consistently across various barrel lengths, from compact carry pistols to full-size duty weapons. The 135-grain weight provides sufficient momentum for barrier penetration while the hollow point design limits over-penetration in residential construction. DoubleTap's quality control process includes velocity testing and case inspection to maintain manufacturing standards.
