CorBon 38 Special +P 110 Grain JHP ammunition delivers proven stopping power in a compact, controllable defensive load. This 20-round box of jacketed hollow point cartridges is engineered for law enforcement and civilian defensive carry applications where reliable expansion and consistent penetration are non-negotiable. The internal and external serrations on the projectile, combined with CorBon's soft lead cavity design, produce the controlled expansion and penetration depth that established CorBon's reputation as a leader in purpose-built duty ammunition.
Loaded to 1,050 feet per second, the +P specification increases chamber pressure above standard 38 Special loads, generating velocity necessary to achieve optimal expansion in ballistic gelatin while maintaining an average penetration range of 9 to 15 inches—the accepted window for defensive ammunition performance. The 110-grain bullet weight provides a balanced platform: sufficient velocity for reliable hollow-point initiation and expansion, while managing recoil impulse for accurate follow-up shots in defensive scenarios. This load is appropriate for snub-nose revolvers and compact semi-automatic platforms chambered in 38 Special, both historically favored by plainclothes officers and armed civilians seeking concealable backup weapons.
Operators and law enforcement personnel who carried the 38 Special during the revolver era continue to rely on CorBon 38 JHP ammunition for defensive carry in lightweight or backup revolvers. The round remains relevant for shooters who prioritize proven ballistic design and moderate recoil over larger caliber alternatives. CorBon's manufacturing standards and consistent quality control make this load suitable for duty carry, training, and defensive preparation where ammunition reliability directly impacts readiness and safety outcomes.
