If we freed a genie from his magic bottle and he granted us one wish, do you know what we’d wish for? We’d wish that 38 Special ammunition could be just a little more powerful.

But wait! That wish would be extremely stupid, because slightly more powerful 38 Special ammunition already exists. It’s called “38 Special +P,” and it’s an excellent choice for personal protection so long as your revolver is designed to accommodate its ferocious chamber pressure.

Magtech of Brazil loaded this 38 Special +P ammo so you can defend your life (or train, or hunt, or plink, or stockpile) with total confidence. The powerful round lobs its 158 grain bullet out of a 4” vented test barrel at a velocity of 886 feet per second. At that rate, the bullet is going to carry around 270 ft lbs of kinetic energy to a very nearby target.

The semi-jacketed hollow point bullet features a flat nose profile that (A) sits safely in a rifle’s tubular magazine, and (B) cuts out a more injurious entry wound than any round nose bullet could manage. The SJHP’s jacket promotes higher weight retention and deeper resultant penetration; its unrestricted nose cavity delivers the quick, broad expansion that deals extreme damage to soft tissues. Super effective, and nonmagnetic, noncorrosive and reloadable, too!
