Hornady American Gunner 38 Special 125 grain XTP ammunition delivers proven ballistic performance for target shooting, training, and personal defense applications. This 25-round box combines generations of Hornady reloading expertise with modern manufacturing standards, offering operators and civilians a versatile, domestically manufactured cartridge suitable for standard .38 Special revolvers and compatible firearms.
The 125-grain XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet is engineered for controlled expansion and reliable penetration across a range of barrier conditions. Loaded to 900 feet per second, this velocity profile manages recoil impulse while maintaining effective energy transfer, a critical balance for shooters managing follow-up accuracy in low-light or high-stress scenarios. The round-nose profile supports smooth feeding in revolver cylinders and semi-automatic firearms chambered for .38 Special, minimizing feeding inconsistencies that plague some aftermarket loads.
Law enforcement, security professionals, and civilian shooters rely on the American Gunner line for duty-grade performance without premium pricing. The 125-grain XTP weight class strikes a practical middle ground for .38 Special applications—lighter than 158-grain service loads but heavier than 110-grain defensive rounds, making it suitable for revolvers where ammunition selection is limited by cylinder geometry or historical service specifications. Made in the USA, this ammunition is readily available for regular range practice, qualification courses, and defensive readiness maintenance.
