40 SW – 140 gr TAC-XP JHP – Black Hills (D40N620) – 500 Rounds

Some 40 S&W carriers prefer a light, all copper hollow point that holds together through barriers. This listing is Black Hills 40 S&W 140 grain Barnes TAC-XP ammo, MPN D40N620, sold as 500 rounds. That is a large supply of premium defensive ammunition, suited to departments, instructors, and armed citizens who want to train extensively with the exact load they carry.

Retail specifications list this load at 1,150 fps with 411 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Barnes TAC-XP is a solid copper hollow point. With no lead core, it cannot separate from a jacket, so it typically keeps nearly all of its weight while opening into large petals. A copper bullet is longer than a lead bullet of the same weight, which is why 140 grains is a common TAC-XP weight in the 40. The lighter bullet also gives a quicker recoil than heavier 40 loads. This is self defense ammunition and it is lead free.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 40 S&W, including the Glock 22, 23, 27, and 35, SIG P226, P229, and P320, Smith and Wesson M&P40, Springfield XD and XD-M, Beretta PX4 Storm, HK P30 and VP40, and the Beretta CX4 carbine. A common question is whether light copper bullets cycle reliably in a 40. Most pistols run them well, but test a few hundred rounds in your gun before carrying. Another common question is whether a 40 S&W pistol can fire 10mm. No. A 10mm cartridge is longer and loaded to higher pressure.

Black Hills D40N620 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Rapid City, South Dakota. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and non-corrosive components. The listing ships as 25 boxes of 20 rounds for 500 total from one lot, so every round you practice with matches the one in your holster.
