Cor-Bon Self-Defense .38 Super +P 115gr JHP Ammunition, 20-Round Box

Cor-Bon .38 Super +P 115-grain JHP ammunition (brand part no. 38X11520) takes the cartridge competition shooters have trusted for decades and loads it to +P pressure for serious defensive performance. The 115-grain jacketed hollow point uses Cor-Bon‘s signature internal and external serration cuts over a soft lead cavity, a combination built to open reliably at the higher velocity the +P loading generates. Independent gelatin testing on this JHP line shows an average penetration window of 9 to 15 inches, the benchmark range for dependable personal-defense ammunition. Shooters running 1911s and other .38 Super platforms get a genuinely fast, expanding round instead of the ball ammunition most factory loads still default to, all in the same handgun ammunition lineup Cor-Bon has built its reputation on.

Key Specifications

• The caliber is .38 Super +P, an overpressure loading of the classic 1911-platform cartridge.
• The bullet weighs 115 grains, a lighter weight that takes full advantage of the +P velocity boost.
• The bullet is a jacketed hollow point (JHP), built for defensive expansion rather than ball-ammo penetration alone.
• Internal and external serration cuts score the jacket so the bullet peels open consistently instead of tearing unevenly.
• A soft lead hollow-point cavity promotes uniform mushrooming once the jacket begins to open.
• Gelatin testing on this JHP line averages 9 to 15 inches of penetration, matching accepted defensive-ammunition standards.
• The +P pressure rating pushes velocity higher than standard .38 Super loads, aiding both expansion and terminal energy.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, enough for several magazines of carry or practice ammunition.
• Cor-Bon packages this load in 500-round case lots for shooters who train with their carry ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does +P mean on this .38 Super load? +P denotes an overpressure loading that raises velocity beyond standard .38 Super ammunition, which helps this JHP expand more reliably.

Is +P ammunition safe in any .38 Super pistol? Most modern .38 Super firearms are built to handle +P pressures, but shooters should always confirm their specific pistol’s rating before use.

How does this compare to ball ammunition? Unlike full metal jacket rounds built only to penetrate, this JHP is designed to expand and still reach 9 to 15 inches of penetration in gelatin testing.
