DoubleTap 40S&W 180-grain jacketed hollow point ammunition delivers consistent expansion and penetration for home defense applications. This premium defensive load features controlled expansion technology designed to maximize stopping power while minimizing over-penetration risks.
What Makes This Different
DoubleTap's 40180CE load utilizes a specially designed jacketed hollow point that expands reliably across various barrier types. The 180-grain bullet weight provides optimal momentum transfer in .40 S&W platforms while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle flash in low-light scenarios, preserving night vision during defensive encounters.
Key Features
- 180-grain jacketed hollow point bullet for controlled expansion
- Flash-suppressed powder minimizes muzzle signature
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Consistent 1050 fps muzzle velocity from 4-inch barrel
- Temperature-stable powder performs in extreme conditions
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading
- Compatible with all .40 S&W chambered firearms
This load generates approximately 440 foot-pounds of energy, placing it in the optimal range for defensive applications. The jacketed hollow point construction penetrates 12-15 inches in ballistic gelatin while expanding to approximately 0.65 inches. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar specifications for duty carry, demonstrating proven field performance.
