Cor-Bon Self Defense .38 Special +P 125gr JHP Ammunition - 20 Rounds Box / 25 Cases

Cor-Bon Self Defense .38 Special +P 125gr JHP ammunition delivers reliable stopping power for defensive carry and personal protection. This load pairs a proven 125-grain jacketed hollow point with flash-suppressed powder designed to minimize muzzle flash in low-light defensive encounters. Each round is carefully engineered with scored jackets that initiate rapid expansion while maintaining weight retention—a critical balance for defensive ammunition that needs to transfer energy without over-penetrating through your target into unintended areas.

CorBon's Self Defense line is purpose-built for shooters who carry a revolver or compact semi-automatic chambered in .38 Special and want proven performance when it matters most. The +P pressure rating delivers the velocity necessary for consistent expansion and penetration from short defensive distances, while the flash-suppressed powder helps preserve your night vision and reduces the environmental signature in critical situations. These rounds ship primed and ready to use, with corrosion-resistant construction so you can trust your ammunition when stored long-term in your carry gun or duty holster.

Each box contains 20 rounds; bulk packages include 25 cases for departments, ranges, or serious defensive shooters who prioritize consistency and train regularly with carry ammunition. If you depend on a .38 Special for self-defense, ammunition selection matters—Cor-Bon's track record in the defensive ammunition market reflects a philosophy of performance and reliability over hype.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition safe for snub-nose or older .38 Special revolvers?

The +P designation indicates higher pressure loading. Check your firearm's manual or markings to confirm it is rated for +P ammunition before use. Not all .38 Special firearms are suitable for +P loads.

What makes flash-suppressed powder important for self-defense?

In a low-light defensive encounter, muzzle flash can temporarily impair your vision and make follow-up shots harder to aim. Flash-suppressed powder reduces that effect, helping you maintain sight picture and situational awareness.

Will this ammunition over-penetrate through a target?

Cor-Bon designed this load to balance expansion and weight retention to minimize the risk of over-penetration, which is a key concern in defensive scenarios where unintended targets may be beyond your intended one.

How many rounds are in a bulk case order?

Each box contains 20 rounds; a bulk order of 25 cases provides 500 total rounds (.38 Special +P ammunition across multiple boxes).
