Who This Is For
This CorBon 38 Super +P JHP load is ideal for competitive shooters and concealed carry practitioners who run 38 Super pistols — especially 1911-platform firearms chambered in this cartridge — and demand a proven defensive round that combines high velocity with reliable expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition safe to fire in any 38 Super pistol?
This load is rated +P, meaning it operates at higher-than-standard chamber pressure. Most modern 38 Super pistols — including popular 1911-platform guns from Colt, Springfield, and others — are built to handle +P pressure. However, you should always consult your firearm's owner's manual or the manufacturer to confirm +P compatibility before use, as older or non-rated pistols may experience accelerated wear or unsafe conditions with +P ammunition.
How does the CorBon JHP bullet perform compared to standard FMJ in 38 Super?
Unlike full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets that pass through a target with minimal expansion, the CorBon JHP features a soft lead cavity with internal and external serrations that cause the bullet to mushroom on impact. This controlled expansion increases the bullet's diameter, transfers more energy to the target, and reduces the risk of over-penetration — making it a far superior choice for defensive applications compared to standard FMJ training rounds.
Can I use this CorBon 38 Super load for USPSA or competition shooting?
Yes — the 38 Super cartridge has a long history in competitive shooting, particularly in USPSA Open division where its high velocity and ability to make major power factor are valued. At 1,425 fps with a 115-grain bullet, this CorBon +P load easily makes major power factor and offers reliable feeding in compensated Open-class pistols. Always verify your specific division's rules and power factor requirements before competing with any ammunition.
