9mm +P – 115 gr Barnes TAC-XP – Black Hills (D9N1020) – 500 Rounds

Solid copper hollow points have earned a following among shooters who want reliable expansion and full weight retention from a carry pistol. This listing is Black Hills 9mm Luger +P 115 grain Barnes TAC-XP ammo, MPN D9N1020, sold as 500 rounds for armed citizens, agencies, and anyone who wants enough of a lead free defensive load to test and carry with confidence.

The Barnes TAC-XP is a one piece copper bullet with a deep hollow point that opens into petals on impact. With no separate lead core, it cannot separate from its jacket, so it typically retains nearly all its weight and penetrates deeply. A solid copper bullet is longer than a lead core bullet of the same weight, which is one reason a light 115 grain TAC-XP still performs well. The +P loading adds velocity to support consistent expansion. This is a defensive load, so practice with a full metal jacket load of similar recoil.

This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 9mm Luger that are rated for +P, which includes most modern designs such as the Glock 19, 17, and 26, SIG P320, P226, and P365, Smith and Wesson M&P9, HK VP9, Springfield Echelon, Walther PDP, and CZ P-10. A common question is whether +P 9mm is safe in every 9mm pistol. No. Use it only in pistols whose maker approves +P, and avoid it in older or lightweight guns without approval. Another common question is whether lead free bullets are less effective. Solid copper bullets like the TAC-XP are designed to expand reliably and hold together, and many agencies have used them.

Black Hills D9N1020 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in Rapid City, South Dakota. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers. This listing contains 500 rounds from one lot. Test several magazines in your pistol, check your point of impact, and keep the remaining rounds from that lot for carry and spare magazines.
