DoubleTap engineered this load with controlled expansion in mind, balancing velocity and bullet behavior for predictable terminal performance. The 230-grain JHP is the standard weight for 45 ACP, trusted by law enforcement and civilian shooters alike for its proven ballistics and reliability across a wide range of 45 platforms.
