Cor-Bon Self-Defense .38 Super +P 125gr JHP Ammunition, 20-Round Box

Cor-Bon .38 Super +P 125-grain JHP ammunition (brand part no. 38X12520) steps up to a heavier bullet than Cor-Bon‘s 115-grain .38 Super load while keeping the same +P pressure and defensive intent. The 125-grain jacketed hollow point carries the same internal and external serration cuts over a soft lead cavity, a design built to open consistently at +P velocity rather than punch a narrow, unexpanded hole. This JHP line has demonstrated 9 to 15 inches of penetration in gelatin testing, the accepted window for reliable personal-defense performance. For 1911-platform shooters who want more bullet weight behind their .38 Super without giving up expansion, this handgun ammunition is the heavier option in Cor-Bon’s lineup.
