Fort Scott 9mm 115gr TUI TPD-9 Black – Rugged 20 Round Box

Description

The Fort Scott 9mm 115gr TUI TPD-9 load is a 20 round box of 9mm Luger ammunition from Fort Scott Munitions, an American company in Fort Scott, Kansas. It uses a 115 grain Solid Copper Spun (SCS) bullet with the company’s Tumble Upon Impact design, and Fort Scott lists a test velocity of 1,140 fps from a 4 inch barrel.

Fort Scott 9mm 115gr TUI TPD-9 Overview

TPD-9 is Fort Scott’s tactical personal defense version of its 115 grain 9mm load, sold in a black-themed package and aimed at duty and defensive users. It uses the same lathe-turned solid copper bullet with the patented Tumble Upon Impact design, tested at 1,140 fps from a 4 inch barrel. Because the bullet tumbles instead of expanding, it is less sensitive to clogging from heavy clothing and aims for consistent, deep penetration. The projectile contains no lead, which reduces exposure during frequent training and keeps it usable where lead is restricted.

How TUI Works

Fort Scott’s patented Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) design works differently from a hollow point. Rather than mushrooming, the lathe-turned copper bullet is engineered with an off-center balance so it begins to yaw and tumble once it enters a target. A tumbling bullet presents its full length as it travels, creating a large wound channel while keeping its weight because it does not fragment or shed petals. Unlike hollow points, it cannot clog with heavy clothing, so performance stays consistent through barriers.

Non-Lead Construction

Because the bullet is a single piece of copper turned on a lathe, it contains no lead core. That reduces lead exposure at the range and makes the load usable where lead projectiles are restricted. Monolithic bullets are longer than lead-core bullets of the same weight, so Fort Scott tunes seating depth and powder charge for each load.

Firearm Compatibility

Fire this ammunition in any pistol or carbine chambered for 9mm Luger, also marked 9x19mm or 9mm Parabellum. It is not intended for 9mm Makarov, 380 ACP or 9×21 firearms. The solid copper bullet is longer than a lead-core bullet of the same weight, so confirm reliable feeding in your pistol, especially in compact and subcompact models, before you carry it.

Accuracy and Testing

Every pistol has its own preferences. Before you carry this load, fire several magazines to confirm reliable feeding and a point of impact that matches your sights. Solid copper bullets can shoot to a slightly different point than lead-core ammunition, so check your zero if you use a red dot.

Recoil and Shootability

Recoil is typical of a standard-pressure 115 grain 9mm load, which most shooters find easy to control. Practice with the load you carry so that recoil, muzzle flash and point of impact are familiar.

Made in the USA

Fort Scott Munitions designs and manufactures its bullets and loaded ammunition in Kansas. The company holds patents on its tumbling bullet technology and offers it in a wide range of handgun and rifle calibers.

Storage and Care

Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box, away from solvents and lubricants. Rotate carry ammunition periodically and inspect cartridges for dents, corrosion or set-back bullets.
