“Tag: DoubleTap”

DoubleTap is the only ammunition company I know that loads Nosler pistol bullets.

The demand for .380 ACP handguns and ammunition is extreme. Manufacturers have responded by offering .380 ACP ammunition that is actually suitable for personal protection.

The Barnes TAC-XP bullet is a good choice for self-defense in a .40-caliber package, but different loads with this bullet can affect terminal performance.

January is .40 S&W month here at Terminal Tuesday. DoubleTap is the only ammunition manufacturer I know that loads Nosler JHP bullets for handguns, and it is the first of four .40 S&W loads in a row.

When companies start advertising in magazines, they often provide product samples hoping for some positive press after testing. That's not how I came to test DoubleTap.

If you have been following Terminal Tuesday for any length of time you are probably seeing a trend for ammunition manufacturers to load the Barnes TAC-XP bullets in defensive handgun cartridges.

A great field cartridge for trappers, hunters and hikers, the .32 H&R Mag. can also be a valid choice for personal protection, especially when loaded with the right ammo.

Designed for use in compact pistols, this load still manages to pack a big punch.

The 10 mm Auto is a very powerful cartridge and is often used for hunting by those who prefer a semi-automatic pistol to a revolver. It is also pretty darn good for self-defense.
