Fort Scott Munitions 380095SCV delivers devastating terminal performance through innovative Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) technology that causes the solid copper projectile to tumble and fragment upon contact with soft tissue. This 95-grain ammunition transforms standard .380 ACP performance into a highly effective self-defense round.
What Makes This Different
The patented TUI design features a solid copper construction with precision-machined grooves that destabilize the bullet upon impact, creating multiple wound channels instead of simple penetration. Unlike traditional hollow point ammunition that can clog with clothing or fail to expand, the TUI bullet's mechanical tumbling action functions consistently regardless of barriers. This technology delivers rifle-like terminal ballistics from a compact pistol cartridge.
Key Features
- Tumble Upon Impact technology creates multiple wound channels for maximum stopping power
- 95-grain solid copper construction eliminates lead exposure concerns
- Machined copper projectile maintains structural integrity through barriers
- Consistent performance unaffected by clothing, drywall, or light barriers
- Match-grade brass cases ensure reliable feeding and extraction
- Temperature-stable powder maintains velocity across weather conditions
- 20 rounds per box, 25 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates the TUI ammunition's ability to penetrate FBI-standard gelatin blocks while creating significantly larger permanent wound cavities than conventional .380 ACP loads. The solid copper construction eliminates concerns about lead contamination in indoor ranges while providing superior barrier penetration for home defense scenarios. Law enforcement agencies report consistent expansion and energy transfer across various shooting distances.
