well I tried to search for my answer first, but I have had little results. So I figured I would start a thread and see if anyone could answer.

What is Double Tap ammo? I have heard people say they use it, but what is the difference between it and regular ammo. I visited their website and it just looks like its a re-loaded ammo that costs the same as manufactured ammo. Whats the deal?

Do they use a special powder? Use more powder then factory ammo, giving ammo higher velocity?

Anyone have an idea?

IIRC it's Speer Gold Dot bullets loaded to higher than normal velocities

It's probably loaded to "higher than normal" pressures, too.

Twice as good as the single tap ammo.

I avoid DT ammo because of concerns about frame battering and overpressure. I dunno how good their quality control can compare with say, Winchester or Remington...

ps - if you do decide to run that stuff, make sure you're using a gun with a fully-supported chamber and heavier than standard springs
