The Barnes TAC-XP 9mm Bullets, 115 gr (Barnes part no. 30442) are Barnes‘s 100 percent copper defensive bullet, sized for 9mm and sold 40 to a box. Barnes designs TAC-XP for law enforcement and personal defense use, and because it’s 100 percent copper with no lead core, it meets the requirements of lead-free practice environments as well. TAC-XP is built to maintain its original weight and track straight after being fired through intermediate barriers like car doors, plywood, and automobile windshield glass, which matters when a defensive shot doesn’t have a clean, unobstructed path to the target.
