Barnes TAC-XPD ammunition in .45 ACP +P (brand part no. 21555) is a defensive load engineered around reliable expansion and stopping power. Barnes backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 185 gr bullet with a tac-xp design, matched to the .45 ACP +P platform shooters already run. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this is the Barnes load built for that job.
