Description
Fort Scott Munitions built this .380 load with one purpose in mind: delivering premium terminal performance from a concealable firearm. The 95-grain solid copper projectile is precision-machined to exacting tolerances, which means you get the same ballistic results with every round. With a published velocity of 940 fps and 186 foot-pounds of energy, this rounds sits in the sweet spot for short-barrel pocket pistols, balancing velocity with controllable recoil.
What Makes Fort Scott's TUI Design Stand Out
The Tumble Upon Impact technology sets this ammunition apart from standard hollow points. Once the bullet contacts soft tissue, it tumbles end-over-end, creating a much larger temporary wound cavity than you'd expect from a .380. The solid copper construction retains over 95% of its mass through impact, allowing the bullet to penetrate deeply while still generating that distinctive tumbling effect. Unlike traditional hollow points that expand on first contact, TUI rounds do their primary damage internally, which matters for carry applications where overpenetration is a concern.
Built for Pocket Guns and Serious Carry
If you carry a Ruger LCP, S&W Bodyguard, or similar compact .380, you already know the caliber operates at the edge of terminal performance. Fort Scott's precision machining and match-grade tolerances give you the reliability and consistency that separates premium ammo from basic range loads. The lead-free solid copper bullet means this will run clean through your barrel, and it's suitable for indoor ranges or areas where lead ammunition isn't permitted.
The brass cases are reloadable, so if you shoot enough to reload, you'll save money down the road. Each box ships with 20 rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Tumble Upon Impact technology work in the Fort Scott .380?
Once this bullet enters soft tissue, the solid copper design causes it to tumble end-over-end rather than relying on expansion like a traditional hollow point. This tumbling action creates a larger internal wound cavity and delivers damage through hydrostatic shock. The bullet travels straight through the initial skin barrier first, then begins tumbling deeper in tissue, which can be advantageous for self-defense.
Is this Fort Scott .380 ACP ammunition suitable for pocket pistols?
Yes, the 940 fps velocity is optimized for short-barrel pocket pistols like the Ruger LCP and S&W Bodyguard. While.380 operates at the edge of terminal ballistics, Fort Scott's match-grade precision and solid copper construction give you the most consistent performance possible from this caliber.
Can I reload the brass cases from these Fort Scott .380 rounds?
Yes, the ammunition uses reloadable brass cases. If you handload, you can save money by reusing the cases. However, if your gun previously ran non-reloadable or steel-cased ammunition, clean your barrel thoroughly before shooting these rounds, as the solid copper projectiles may show slight differences in performance.
Is this lead-free ammunition suitable for indoor ranges?
Yes, the solid copper bullet construction is completely lead-free, making it appropriate for indoor ranges, hunting areas with lead restrictions, or anywhere lead ammunition is prohibited. Lead-free doesn't mean reduced performance—Fort Scott's engineering ensures you get the same accuracy and reliability.
