DoubleTap 40 S&W 180gr JHP home defense ammunition delivers reliable stopping performance when it matters most. Built for self-defense scenarios where controlled expansion and penetration are critical, this 40 S&W load pairs a 180-grain jacketed hollow point projectile with DoubleTap's proven cartridge engineering. Each box contains 20 rounds, making it easy to stock defensive carry loads or maintain a ready reserve for home protection.
The 180-grain weight in 40 S&W represents a balanced choice for defensive work—heavy enough to carry deep penetration through intermediate barriers, yet paired with a hollow point design meant to expand reliably on impact. DoubleTap ammunition is manufactured to strict quality standards, so you get consistent velocities and reliable feeding across platforms. Whether you're loading a duty-sized pistol, compact carry gun, or keeping defensive rounds on hand, this ammunition is engineered for the performance demands of self-defense.
Home defense shooting requires ammunition you can trust to perform under stress. DoubleTap's reputation is built on ammunition that goes where you point it and behaves as expected downrange. The 20-round box format is ideal for serious shooters who want to verify function and point of impact before trusting a load for personal protection, or for maintaining a consistent supply of known-good defensive ammunition on your nightstand or in your safe.

How many rounds come in a box?

What's the difference between 180gr and lighter 40 S&W loads?
