Recently bought some 95 gr. JHP Double Tap ammo for my LCP, (Bufflo Bore just a little too much for the LCP) . Double Tap claims 975 fps from a 2.5" barrel. Have not been able to run it through a chronograph, but did compare to 90 gr. Cor-Bon ( which runs about 970 fps through the LCP) in a very limited test into some phone books. The Double Tap had about about 1 1/2" more penetration and fully expanded. The Cor-Bon did not perform as well.
Just wondering if anybody has verified the claimed velocity of DT's 975 fps through 2.5" barrel and 1080 fps through 3.5" barrel?
Thanks in advance, Dgang
 
I will start by saying I have no personal experience with any Double Tap ammunition. I will also say that if you do a google search of Double Tap velocity claims you will get lots of information from people who have. Most of it won't make you happy if higher velocity is what you're looking for!
 
My 357 sig DT definitely FEELS warmer than standard fmj or hp 357. I can only assume that the velocity is higher, but by how much I don't know. I guess I never really cared enough to find a chronograph to use.
