Cor-Bon Self-Defense .38 Special +P 125gr Hollow Point ammunition (part no. 38125) loads a 125-grain hollow point bullet in .38 Special +P, built for personal and home defense. Cor-Bon loads this round to +P pressure, pushing velocity and expansion beyond what a standard-pressure defensive round delivers. Hollow Point construction expands on impact for defensive terminal performance. In handgun ammunition for personal defense, this is the load built for exactly that.
