Description
The DoubleTap 380 ACP 95gr JHP load is built for shooters who want more from their 380 ACP than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 95 grain Controlled Expansion jacketed hollow point to a rated 1000 feet per second from a Glock 42. The Controlled Expansion design limits how far the bullet opens, which helps a small 380 reach useful penetration depths instead of expanding too quickly.

Why Choose the DoubleTap 380 ACP 95gr JHP
- 95 grain Controlled Expansion JHP
- Rated 1000 fps (Glock 42)
- About 975 fps from a Beretta Pico
- Up to about 246 ft-lbs from a 3.5 in Bersa Thunder
- 20 rounds per box, item 380A95CE
Built for Personal Protection
- Concealed carry with a pocket or compact 380 pistol
- Home defense for shooters who prefer light recoil
- Shooters who want a heavier 380 bullet for penetration
- Glock 42, Ruger LCP, Beretta Pico, Bersa Thunder and other 380 pistols
DoubleTap also offers an 80 grain lead-free solid copper hollow point in 380 ACP, so owners can compare a light, fast load with this heavier hollow point and choose what runs best in their pistol.
Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance DoubleTap builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the DoubleTap 380 ACP 95gr JHP until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Why Choose DoubleTap 380 ACP Ammo
The 380 ACP is limited in power, so bullet design matters. The heavier 95 grain Controlled Expansion bullet opens in a controlled way and keeps enough weight to penetrate, and DoubleTap rates it at 1000 fps from a Glock 42, 975 fps from a tiny Beretta Pico and up to about 246 foot-pounds from the longer barrel of a Bersa Thunder.
When you compare 380 acp self defense ammo, a heavier bullet often gives better penetration than a light, fast one. This 380 acp 95 grain hollow point is a good match for compact pistols, and fired alongside the 80 grain solid copper load it lets you choose what runs and groups best in your gun.
DoubleTap Ammunition is an American company known for loading popular calibers to their full potential, especially the 10mm Auto and other magnum handgun rounds. Doubletap 380 acp ammo is loaded with quality components and brass cases, and many shooters choose it when they want the performance a caliber was designed for rather than a reduced-power range load.
Concealed carriers who rely on a small 380 pistol and want a heavier, controlled-expansion defensive load will find this a strong choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 380 ACP, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
