Barnes TAC-XPD Defense .40 S&W ammunition is engineered for those who demand dependable performance when personal protection matters most. Built around Barnes' proven bullet technology and loaded with premium components, this defensive handgun load delivers the accuracy, reliability, and terminal effectiveness needed for high-stakes situations. Whether carried daily or kept ready for home defense, it's designed to provide confidence when every second counts.
At the heart of this cartridge is the 140 grain TAC-XP bullet. Constructed from solid copper and finished with a nickel-plated coating, the TAC-XP is designed to deliver controlled expansion and exceptional weight retention. Unlike traditional lead-core projectiles, the all-copper design helps the bullet maintain its structural integrity while expanding into sharp, uniform petals upon impact. This promotes effective energy transfer and deep penetration, making it a trusted choice for defensive applications.
With a muzzle velocity of 1120 fps and 394 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this .40 S&W load offers an excellent balance of speed, power, and controllability. The performance profile is designed to provide rapid target engagement while maintaining the stopping capability serious shooters expect from a premium defensive round.
Each cartridge is loaded with a quality copper casing and dependable centerfire primer to ensure consistent ignition and reliable function. Barnes' strict manufacturing standards help deliver uniform performance and dependable accuracy from round to round, giving shooters confidence in their equipment.
Packaged in a convenient 20-round box, Barnes TAC-XPD Defense .40 S&W ammunition provides rugged reliability, advanced bullet technology, and proven defensive performance for those who refuse to compromise on personal protection.
The Barnes .40 S&W uses copper cases and TAC-XP bullets for reliable defensive performance.
