Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the DoubleTap 9mm Luger +P 165gr Equalizer JHP unique?

A: The DoubleTap Equalizer ammunition features a dual-projectile design. Each round contains a 115gr JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) followed by a 50gr flat hardcast disk. This creates two distinct wound channels, potentially increasing stopping power and effectiveness in self-defense situations.

Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammunition?

A: The muzzle velocity is 995 fps (feet per second) when fired from a Beretta 92FS. From a Ruger SR9, it achieves 900 fps.

Q: How many rounds are in each box?

A: Each box contains 20 rounds of ammunition.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 9mm handguns?

A: This is +P ammunition, which means it's loaded to higher pressures than standard 9mm rounds. It should only be used in firearms rated for +P ammunition. Always check your firearm's manual or consult with the manufacturer before using +P loads.

Q: What is the effective range of this ammunition?

A: According to the manufacturer, the two projectiles group tightly together out to 25 yards, making this ammunition effective for typical self-defense distances.

Q: Can this ammunition be used for target practice?

A: While it can be used for target practice, this ammunition is primarily designed for self-defense. Due to its specialized design and higher cost compared to standard target ammunition, it's generally more practical to use standard 9mm loads for regular target practice and save this for self-defense applications or occasional familiarization firing.
