The DoubleTap 45A185CE delivers controlled expansion and reliable stopping power for home defense applications. This premium jacketed hollow point ammunition combines proven terminal ballistics with consistent accuracy across multiple firearm platforms.
What Makes This Different
DoubleTap's proprietary powder blend generates higher velocities than standard 45ACP loads while maintaining manageable recoil. The 185-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance between penetration depth and expansion characteristics. Independent ballistic testing shows consistent expansion to 0.65-0.75 inches in calibrated gelatin, with penetration depths of 12-15 inches meeting FBI protocol standards.
Key Features
- 185-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- Premium brass cases with boxer primers for reliable ignition
- Velocity rated at 1,100 fps from 5-inch barrel
- Compatible with all 45ACP firearms including 1911s, Glocks, and M&P pistols

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy with groups under 2.5 inches at 25 yards from quality pistols. The moderate recoil impulse allows for faster follow-up shots compared to heavier bullet weights. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar specifications for duty use, validating the design's effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
