Doubletap Ammuntion in the .380 caliber has some impressive claims in regards to velocity. The box states 975 fps through a 2.75" barrel from a LCP or P3AT. I put the ammo through the Beta Chrony with my Bodyguard 380 with a 2.75" barrel. There were some error signs on shots that were not measured due to lighting conditions. They were edited out to give 5 shots with the ammo. A listing of shot velocities, average and shot spread are at the end of the video.

  • Did you notice any recoil deferences between this ammo & other ammo? I will definitely look into this ammo for my sig p238.

  • @tacticalkimchi I was also shooting PMC ammo which was coming in around 830 fps. There was clearly greater recoil with the Doubletap ammo. It was much easier to control in my Bodyguard as opposed to my Taurus TCP which is about 3 ounces lighter.

  • how do you like the Body Gaurd. I am shopping pocket pistols for summer carry.

  • @jacuzz4 The Bodyguard 380 has been a good weapon. I have even got use to the hard trigger pull. The biggest problem is the screw that holds the laser assembly in. It came out on me for the second time. While coming out the screw enlarged the hole it goes in causing it not to fit so it is on its way back to S&W. Outside of this problem, I really like the gun. The gun would have been better had they left the laser to an aftermarket co.

  • That is very speedy for a 95gr bullet. Thanks for testing.

  • Impressive indeed!

  • @jjaayypp963 I use Federal hollow points from time to time. It is good ammo.

  • @ross512009 Unfortunately, I do not have any ballistic gel at this time. 

  • Wow! This may indeed be the only DoubleTap ammo ever to meet claims!!! In any caliber!!!

  • Thanks would have like to have seen the expansion on this Double Tap HP ammo
