Fort Scott Munitions built the Claw Defense line (part no. 10MM-190-SCV2) around a 190-grain solid copper bullet for 10mm Auto shooters who carry the caliber for its stopping power. Fort Scott Munitions machines this bullet from solid copper and relies on their Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) design, which tumbles end over end after penetration rather than mushrooming like a conventional hollow point. The result is a lead-free defensive round with a genuinely different terminal mechanism, matched to the heavy-hitting reputation 10mm Auto already carries. In handgun ammunition built for serious carry use, this is a distinctive option.

Key Specifications

• The bullet is lathe-spun rather than swaged, a distinct manufacturing process from typical jacketed bullets.
• Being one piece of copper, there’s no core-jacket separation risk on impact.
• This is a Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) design, engineered to tumble rather than expand for its wound effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Claw Defense bullet expand like a hollow point? No. It’s a solid copper TUI design engineered to tumble after impact rather than mushroom, a different terminal mechanism than a traditional expanding hollow point.

Why is 10mm Auto popular for defensive carry? It combines a heavier bullet with higher velocity than most other semi-auto pistol calibers, giving shooters more energy on target for defense against both people and animals.
