SinterFire Special Duty (SD) .38 Special ammunition (brand part no. SF38110SD) loads a 110-grain lead-free frangible hollow point, a bullet designed to disintegrate into fine particles rather than penetrate or ricochet when it strikes a hard surface. SinterFire builds the SD line for training and duty use where standard ammunition risks splash-back, backstop damage, or dangerous ricochet off steel targets and hard barriers. Because the bullet carries no lead core, the frangible construction also reduces airborne lead exposure on indoor ranges compared to conventional jacketed ammunition, a real advantage for revolver shooters training in an indoor bay. For .38 Special shooters training on steel or in lead-restricted range environments, this handgun ammunition from SinterFire is built for exactly that.
