Frequently Asked Questions
Is CorBon 38 SPL+P safe to fire in my revolver?
+P ammunition generates higher chamber pressure than standard .38 Special loads and should only be fired in revolvers rated for +P use. Most modern .38 Special and all .357 Magnum revolvers are designed to handle +P pressure. Check your firearm's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility before using this or any +P load.
How does the 110-grain JHP perform compared to heavier .38 Special loads?
The 110-grain bullet at 1,050 fps offers a flatter trajectory and faster expansion than heavier 158-grain loads, making it particularly effective in short-barreled snub-nose revolvers where heavier rounds may not reach optimal velocity. The trade-off is slightly less momentum, but CorBon's serrated hollow point design compensates with consistent, reliable expansion across a wide range of velocities.
Can I use this ammunition for target practice as well as self-defense carry?
While CorBon JHP is primarily engineered for self-defense, many shooters run a box or two through their revolver at the range to verify reliability and get familiar with the load's recoil characteristics before carrying it. Because it is a premium defensive round, using it exclusively for plinking would be costly — pairing range practice with standard-pressure FMJ training rounds and reserving the JHP for carry is the most practical approach.
