DOUBLETAP - 9MM - 77 GR - SCHP - 20 RDS/BOX
The DoubleTap 9mm 77 Grain Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP) is a purpose-built, lead-free defensive load engineered specifically for compact and sub-compact 9mm pistols, delivering reliable stopping power without the risk of over-penetration.
- 77-grain solid copper hollow point designed for sub-compact 9mm platforms
- 100% lead-free SCHP projectile — California-compliant and range-friendly
- Runs at standard 9mm pressure for reduced felt recoil and better control
- Controlled expansion limits over-penetration for safer home defense use
- Ideal for concealed carry where barrier-blind performance is a priority
- 20 rounds per box, precision-loaded for consistent feeding and reliability
Who This Is For
This load is the ideal choice for concealed carry permit holders, home defenders, and shooters in lead-free jurisdictions like California who demand a defensive round purpose-matched to shorter-barreled, sub-compact pistols. If you carry a Glock 43, Sig P365, Smith & Wesson Shield, or similar micro-compact, this round was built with your platform in mind — delivering decisive terminal performance while keeping recoil manageable and penetration in check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a 77-grain bullet used instead of the more common 115- or 124-grain loads?
The lighter 77-grain projectile is specifically selected to optimize performance in the shorter barrels common to sub-compact pistols (typically 3" to 3.5"). Shorter barrels generate less velocity, and a lighter bullet achieves reliable expansion at those lower velocities while keeping pressure within standard SAAMI specs. The result is a well-balanced round with predictable terminal performance and reduced muzzle flip — especially important for quick follow-up shots in a defensive scenario.
Is this ammunition safe to use in all 9mm pistols, or only sub-compact models?
This load runs at standard 9mm SAAMI pressure, making it safe for use in any 9mm pistol rated for standard or +P ammunition. However, it was specifically tuned for optimal expansion and terminal performance in short-barreled sub-compact platforms. In full-size pistols with longer barrels, you may achieve higher velocities than intended, which could affect expansion characteristics. For full-size guns, DoubleTap offers other 9mm loads better matched to that barrel length.
Is this ammunition legal to purchase and use in California?
Yes. Because this is a lead-free, solid copper hollow point, it complies with California's AB 711 lead-free ammunition requirements for hunting and is suitable for use at lead-free ranges. As a centerfire handgun cartridge sold in a standard 20-round box, it does not fall under California's magazine capacity restrictions. Standard California ammunition purchase rules apply — buyers must comply with background check requirements for online or in-store ammo purchases in the state.
