You know one day somebody here posted about Doubletap ammo....I'd never heard of em before (never had a 10mm...though a G20 is on "my list" and I guess they are most noted for their stout loaded full power 10mm stuff. Deffensive ammo had been SCARCE for my .45....I had plenty for my 9mm's...but was tired of paying WAY too much for stuff I didn't really like as much as my favorites for the .45....so FINALLY I looked there....purchased some 230gr gold dots (hot but not unreasonably so in recoil) and Mike -reading that it was actually for my daily carry at our pawn & gun shop BONUSED us some 185gr wicked fast stuff just cause he thought we'd like it for our application (clearly a guy proud of his work & that loves what he does)
So now when I start to rotate out ammo (and in the case of my new GLOCK 23...the 3rd or fourth one I've owned over the years of that model...I must like em-LOL) I started to order some corbon 135gr...long my favorite .40 factory load ...then looked at Mikes load....even a tad hotter and with nickel plated cases for less than a buck a round! I used to buy all my ammo wholesale at the shop....now I just order a box here and there direct...even with shipping it's the best deal vs. wholesale plus tax. I ordered a box before leaving yesterday for my 23 (135gr load) and when I got home and put it on the nightstand I looked down and noticed ALL my boxes of carry ammo are becoming black and blue! It's just hard to beat the quallity and value on Double Taps stuff if they have a load you like...and after shooting some of his stuff in various guns I'm just sold on his quallity control to comparatively. It's rare to find someone doing something so well and yet pricing his product very competetively...as the BIG guys gouge us more and more...I gotta say...why pay them AND a middleman wholesaler? I think when my +P gold dots run out in 9mm I'll be all DT in my carry loads! and I HATE change...but better and cheaper is worth a pat on the back....so good job Mike and all at Doubletap...you are my favorite ammo source these days!http://www.doubletapammo.com
and whoever posted about recieving a shipment of "love" from Doubletap many months back thanks...your pic made me look at his website...and I've been well pleased with what I've recieved ever since...and finding my old favorites is still hit and miss at our wholesalers from week to week!...though not as bad as it was back then...there just wasn't any...for months! PS- my order from last night had already shipped by the time I checked my e-mail this morning!
