Starfire™ is the brainchild of Tom Burczynski, the “dean” of high performance handgun bullet designers and a frontrunner in the new era of advanced bullet design. The key to its success is the broad, extremely reliable expansion inherent in each Starfire™ caliber. Created by a patented rib and flute design inside the deep, hollow-point cavity, the bullet hyper-expands to nearly twice its original diameter upon impact, delivering tremendous stopping power on target. Starfire’s average penetration of 9 –14 inches translates to more energy expended on the target and less wasted on landscape downrange.
