Fort Scott Munitions delivers match-grade 38 Special +P ammunition engineered around their multi-patented Tumble Upon Impact technology. Each round features a non-lead solid copper spun (SCS) bullet machined from premium materials on CNC lathes to exacting tolerances. The 81-grain load comes in brass cases and generates 1362 feet per second muzzle velocity with 333 foot-pounds of energy from standard test barrels.
The 38 Special +P TUI design prioritizes internal performance where it matters most. Rather than relying on traditional expansion, the bullet enters tissue in a stable trajectory, then begins tumbling end-over-end upon impact. This creates a larger wound cavity through rotational energy transfer while the solid copper construction ensures complete weight retention and superior penetration. The monolithic design means no hollow point cavities to clog or fail, and no jacket separation issues.
The lightweight 81-grain bullet combined with +P pressure keeps recoil manageable, which means faster target reacquisition and better control in follow-up shots. The tight manufacturing tolerances Fort Scott maintains deliver consistency round to round. These are reloadable brass cases, so they're economical for those who reload. The non-lead construction works well in indoor ranges and is environmentally conscious. Many experienced carriers pair these with revolvers precisely because the monolithic solid copper design eliminates concerns about feeding reliability that can plague traditional hollow points in some guns.
Each box contains 20 rounds. The cartridge overall length measures 2.85 inches, fitting standard revolvers and semi-automatic platforms chambered for 38 Special +P. Cases arrive annealed for extended life if you plan to reload. Fort Scott recommends cleaning your barrel thoroughly when switching from other bullet types to solid copper ammunition.
TUI is Fort Scott's patented design where the solid copper bullet travels straight through skin and tissue, then rotates end-over-end once it strikes water-based soft tissue. This rotation creates a larger wound cavity through rotational energy transfer rather than traditional expansion. The monolithic copper construction maintains full weight retention throughout the bullet's path for consistent penetration.
Yes. The 38 Special +P TUI is designed specifically for revolver use and feeds reliably through all standard revolvers rated for +P pressures. The solid copper construction actually eliminates feeding concerns that sometimes occur with traditional hollow points. Always verify your firearm is marked +P rated before using +P ammunition.
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. Fort Scott includes annealing in their manufacturing process, which extends case life and ensures consistent dimensions for reloading. The ammunition arrives in good condition ready for your reloading operation.
The lighter 81-grain bullet paired with +P pressure keeps recoil manageable while still delivering solid penetration and energy. This lighter load makes faster follow-up shots easier compared to heavier loads, which is advantageous for precision shooting or defensive scenarios where shot placement matters.
