For those of you who want the deep penetrating qualities of the Barnes TAC-XP bullet loaded in .38 Super +P, here it is.
Buffalo Bore has utilized a flash retarded powder, so you won’t be blinded by your own gunfire should you be required to drop the hammer in low light. Statistics say that over 90% of civilian shootings in the US occur in low light when the criminal element is most active. Becoming flash blind after your first shot fired is not good.
As usual, we have used real-world, over-the-counter firearms in recording our velocities. We do not believe the industry-wide duplicitous practice of using extra-long laboratory barrels to record advertised velocities is honest or fair to the customer, as he/she will never see such high velocities from real guns in the real world, where it matters.
- 1409 fps — Colt 1911, 5-inch
- 1388 fps — Taurus PT 1911, 5-inch
- 1338 fps — EAA Witness, 4.25-inch
