DoubleTap 40 SW 135gr JHP – Powerful 40 S&W Defense Ammo, 1350 fps, 20 Rounds

Description

The DoubleTap 40 SW 135gr JHP load is built for shooters who want more from their 40 S&W than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 135 grain Controlled Expansion jacketed hollow point to a rated 1350 feet per second, producing about 567 foot-pounds of energy from a Glock 23. In testing, DoubleTap reports about 11.75 inches of penetration with .68 inches of expansion. This 40 SW 135 grain hollow point is the fast, lightweight option in the DoubleTap 40 S&W lineup, built for rapid energy transfer with controlled penetration.

Why Choose the DoubleTap 40 SW 135gr JHP

• 135 grain Controlled Expansion jacketed hollow point
• Rated 1350 fps, 567 ft-lbs (Glock 23)
• About 11.75 in of penetration, .68 in expansion

Built for Personal Protection

• Home defense where over-penetration is a concern
• Concealed carry with a compact or full-size 40 S&W
• Shooters who want fast, rapid expansion from a light bullet
• Glock 22, 23 and 27, S&W M&P40, SIG P226 and P229

DoubleTap also offers heavier 40 S&W loads, including a 180 grain Bonded Defense JHP for deeper penetration, so owners can choose the balance of speed and depth that suits their needs.

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 40 SW 135gr JHP until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Why Choose DoubleTap 40 SW Ammo

Light bullets at high speed open quickly and deliver their energy in a hurry. DoubleTap rates this 135 grain JHP at 1350 fps and 567 foot-pounds from a 4 inch Glock 23, about 1310 fps from a 3.5 inch barrel and 1420 fps from a 4.5 inch barrel, with about 11.75 inches of penetration and .68 inch of expansion in 10 percent gelatin.

When you compare 40 s&w self defense ammo, think about where you will use it. This 40 sw 135 grain hollow point trades some depth for fast, violent expansion, a balance many owners prefer for defense inside the home, where lighter penetration helps reduce the risk to people beyond the threat.
