Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition safe to fire in my 38 Special revolver?
This is a +P rated load, which operates at higher-than-standard pressure. Most modern 38 Special revolvers from reputable manufacturers are rated for +P ammunition, but you should always verify with your firearm's owner's manual or the manufacturer before using +P loads. Older or lightweight revolvers may not be rated for sustained +P use, so consult your gunsmith if you're unsure.
How does the JHP bullet design improve stopping power?
CorBon's JHP features both internal and external serrations along the bullet's jacket, along with a soft lead hollow-point cavity. On impact, the hollow point fills with fluid, forcing the bullet to expand radially. The serrations act as engineered tear points that guide the expansion into a consistent, controlled mushroom shape — maximizing the bullet's diameter, transferring energy efficiently, and reducing the risk of over-penetration.
Can I use this ammunition for range practice as well as carry?
While CorBon JHP is primarily designed and priced as a self-defense load, it's an excellent idea to fire at least a box or two through your specific revolver to confirm reliable function and familiarize yourself with the +P recoil characteristics before committing it to carry. For high-volume range sessions, a comparable FMJ practice load will be more economical, with this JHP reserved for defensive carry and occasional function testing.
