Fiocchi Hyperformance Defense .38 Special +P 110-grain XTP Hollow Point ammunition (brand part no. 38XTPB25) pairs an Italian-made cartridge with a proven American hunting and defense bullet. Fiocchi loads the Hornady XTP, a hollow point with six precision skives that split the jacket into even segments for controlled expansion at low velocity while resisting fragmentation at higher velocity. Built on the +P platform, this load carries extra chamber pressure over standard .38 Special for higher velocity and a more decisive wound channel from a compact carry revolver or pistol. Fiocchi assembles the round on boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases loaded with non-corrosive propellant, so it stores and fires reliably shot after shot. Carry it in a J-frame or subcompact and the XTP does the rest, expanding on demand no matter how short the barrel.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .38 Special +P, adding pressure over standard .38 Special for higher velocity from carry-size revolvers and pistols.
• The bullet weighs 110 grains, a lighter-for-caliber weight that helps the +P load reach higher expansion velocities.
• The bullet is a Hornady XTP hollow point, a proven defense and hunting design used across multiple ammunition brands.
• Six precision skives in the jacket let the XTP expand in controlled, even segments, working reliably across a wide velocity range without fragmenting.
• Cases are boxer-primed, reloadable brass, giving handloaders the option to recycle spent brass.
• The propellant is non-corrosive, so cleanup is simpler and barrels see less residue buildup.
• Each box holds 25 rounds, enough to run a full defensive-handgun class or several range sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition safe in any .38 Special revolver? Check your firearm’s rating first; +P ammunition should only be fired in revolvers and pistols rated for +P pressure.

What makes the XTP bullet different from a standard hollow point? Six precision skives divide the jacket into even segments, giving the XTP controlled, consistent expansion instead of unpredictable fragmenting.

Is Fiocchi brass reloadable? Yes, these cases are boxer-primed brass, which handloaders can resize and reload.
