DoubleTap Tactical Self Defense 9mm Luger +P ammunition pairs a 115-grain solid copper lead-free projectile with performance engineered for defensive carry. This is ammunition built around the principle that when you need it, it has to work—through barriers, at distance, and with complete reliability. The 9mm +P loading pushes velocity and energy beyond standard pressure rounds, and the lead-free construction makes it suitable for indoor range use and indoor self-defense scenarios where airborne lead is a concern.
The bullet design emphasizes barrier performance. Testing shows consistent penetration into ballistic gelatin around 13.25 inches with approximately 0.69 inches of expansion, and critically, these numbers hold whether the round has traveled through common obstacles first—auto glass, sheet metal, drywall, heavy clothing—or strikes soft tissue directly. That consistency matters in a self-defense round; you're not guessing how it will behave once it leaves the barrel. The solid copper construction delivers 100% weight retention, meaning the bullet stays together through the target rather than fragmenting and losing mass.
From a Glock 17, you're looking at roughly 1250 fps and 445 ft-lbs of energy; from a Glock 19, approximately 1200 fps and 393 ft-lbs. Those numbers will vary slightly depending on your exact platform and barrel length, but they give you a realistic sense of what this load brings to the table. Each box contains 20 rounds, packaged and priced for serious shooters who train with their carry ammunition and aren't willing to compromise on construction or performance when their choice matters most.
If you're running a 9mm for self-defense and want ammunition that delivers on penetration and expansion while eliminating lead from the equation, DoubleTap's tactical load deserves a hard look. It's the kind of round you practice with regularly so that when it counts, you already know how your gun and ammo perform together.

Yes. DoubleTap tested this load specifically for barrier performance. The 115-grain solid copper projectile maintains its penetration depth (around 13.25 inches) and expansion (around 0.69 inches) whether it strikes ballistic gelatin directly or first passes through auto glass, sheet metal, drywall, studs, or heavy clothing. That consistency is what makes it a serious defensive choice.
The +P designation indicates a higher pressure loading that generates increased velocity and energy compared to standard 9mm cartridges. From a Glock 17, this load produces approximately 1250 fps and 445 ft-lbs; you'll see the benefit in both ballistic performance and reliability when it matters.
Yes. The 115-grain bullet is solid copper with no lead, making it suitable for indoor range facilities and venues that restrict lead ammunition. Lead-free construction is also a practical choice for shooters who train frequently with their carry ammunition.
The specifications in our table reference performance from Glock 17 and Glock 19 platforms. For compatibility with other 9mm firearms, confirm that your gun is rated for +P pressure loads. When in doubt, check your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer.
