DoubleTap 45 ACP 230gr JHP Defense Ammo - 20 Rounds/Box, 50 Boxes/Case

DoubleTap 45 ACP 230gr JHP Defense Ammo delivers serious stopping power for defensive carry and home protection. This load pairs a proven 230-grain hollow point with a velocity of 1000 fps (measured from a 5" barrel), striking the balance between reliability and performance that serious shooters demand. Whether you're building a duty load or stocking your carry gun, DoubleTap's reputation for consistency and control makes this a round worth trusting when it matters.

The 230-grain bullet weight is the standard for .45 ACP—it's what the cartridge was designed around, and for good reason. At this mass, the round delivers the penetration depth needed for reliable performance through intermediate barriers while the controlled expansion of the JHP design works to limit over-penetration. DoubleTap keeps flash signature low, a practical consideration for indoor defensive scenarios where muzzle flash can compromise your ability to see threats and follow up shots.

Each box contains 20 rounds, and cases ship with 50 boxes—whether you're a serious competitor, a defensive shooter maintaining your carry supply, or an enthusiast building inventory, the case quantity makes stocking up straightforward. DoubleTap's quality control and attention to detail in their loaded ammunition appeal to shooters who won't compromise on reliability when lives depend on it.
