DoubleTap Home Defense .40 S&W 180-grain jacketed hollow point ammunition (brand part no. 40180CE) is specifically designed for the compact .40-caliber pistols carried by Kel-Tec, Ruger, Kahr, Diamondback, and Taurus owners. DoubleTap Ammunition tunes this load to run virtually flash-free out of a compact pistol’s shorter barrel, an important trait when a defensive shot might come in low light where a fireball would ruin night vision. Built with a reloadable brass case, this JHP load delivers excellent penetration alongside its expansion, giving compact .40 S&W carriers a defensive round matched specifically to their gun rather than a generic full-size load. This is handgun ammunition for owners of subcompact .40-caliber pistols who want a purpose-built defensive option.
