20rds - 38 Special SinterFire Special Duty 110gr. Frangible HP Ammo

20rds - 38 Special SinterFire Special Duty 110gr. Frangible HP Ammo Details

38 Special is a fantastic self defense round, but it is particularly great for those who are sensitive to large recoil. Used through World War II and by law enforcement agencies for the greater part of the 1900's, this round has proven itself to be an effective round.


When you buy SinterFire ammunition, you know you are in for a treat, and with this SinterFire Special Duty self defense ammunition, you will be safer than ever. These 110 grain, frangible hollow point rounds are designed for hard hitting knock down power with zero barrier pass through. These are great self defense rounds for shooters who are concerned with bullet pass through as the projectiles will completely fragment upon impact with a hard surface.
