Speer Lawman .38 Special +P 158-grain Total Metal Jacket ammunition (brand part no. 53750) is manufactured by CCI Ammunition for shooters and agencies who put thousands of rounds downrange without wanting airborne lead exposure. The TMJ bullet fully encloses the lead core, including the base, unlike a standard full metal jacket that leaves the base exposed, making it a favorite for indoor ranges. Loaded to +P pressure, this 158-grain round nose runs hotter than standard-pressure .38 Special for shooters training toward duty or carry-level performance. Reloadable brass cases and Speer’s reputation for consistency round out a load built for serious training volume.
