The DoubleTap Tactical .44 S&W Special 200gr TAC-XP (DoubleTap part no. 44S200X) loads a 200-grain TAC-XP behind .44 S&W Special chambering, built for personal defense and everyday carry. DoubleTap engineers this round around consistent, reliable expansion when a fight-stopping hit matters most. Barnes’ all-copper TAC-XP (Tactical-eXtreme Penetrator) expands to nearly double its original diameter while retaining virtually all of its weight, and DoubleTap loads it to a serious velocity for the caliber. For handgun ammunition, this is a carry-and-forget load for the nightstand, the holster, or the range bag.
