Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Barnes TAC-XP bullet differ from traditional jacketed hollow points?
Unlike conventional jacketed hollow points, the Barnes TAC-XP is machined from solid copper — there is no lead core and no jacket to separate. This monolithic construction means the bullet retains nearly 100% of its weight after expansion, driving deeper and more consistent penetration than traditional JHP designs. The large, skived hollow-point cavity initiates expansion rapidly and reliably, even after passing through heavy clothing or intermediate barriers.
Is this ammunition compatible with my .40-caliber pistol?
Yes. Barnes TAC-XPD 40 S&W ammunition is compatible with any standard .40 S&W chambered pistol, including popular defensive platforms from Glock, Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, and others. As with any defensive load, it is recommended to test a box through your specific firearm to confirm reliable feeding and function before carrying it for self-defense.
Can I use Barnes TAC-XPD ammunition at indoor shooting ranges?
Because the TAC-XPD features a lead-free, all-copper TAC-XP bullet and is loaded without a lead primer (Barnes uses a clean-burning, lead-free primer), it is well-suited for use at indoor ranges with lead-restriction policies. Always verify your specific range's ammunition rules before use, but this round is among the most range-friendly defensive loads available for .40 S&W shooters.
