The Glaser Pow’RBall .38 Special +P 100gr load (Glaser part no. PB38100/20) puts a patented polymer ball tip in a jacketed hollow point. The polymer ball sits in the hollow point cavity so the bullet feeds like ball ammunition, which matters in compact or older handguns that struggle with plain hollow points. On impact the tip compresses into the cavity and starts rapid expansion with deep penetration. Cor-Bon, which loads the Pow’RBall, lists this +P round at 1150 fps and 294 ft-lb. It is aimed at concealed carry and personal defense, and each box holds 20 rounds.
