Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms are compatible with 38 Super +P ammunition?
38 Super +P is chambered in a variety of 1911-style pistols from manufacturers such as Colt, Springfield Armory, STI, and Dan Wesson, as well as many competition-oriented race guns. Always verify your firearm's manual and chamber markings to confirm it is rated for +P pressure levels before using this ammunition. Most modern 38 Super pistols are built to handle +P loads, but older or budget firearms may not be.
How does the CorBon JHP hollow point perform compared to FMJ range ammunition?
Unlike full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds that pass through a target with minimal expansion, the CorBon JHP is engineered to mushroom rapidly upon impact. The serrated copper jacket and soft lead cavity work together to expand to roughly 1.5–2x the original bullet diameter, transferring more energy into the target and reducing the risk of dangerous over-penetration — making it a far superior choice for personal defense compared to standard ball ammunition.
Is this ammunition suitable for everyday concealed carry use?
Yes. CorBon JHP ammunition is loaded to tight quality-control standards and uses premium components, making it a reliable choice for defensive carry. The consistent 9–15 inch penetration depth meets the FBI's recommended performance window for self-defense ammunition. Many law enforcement officers and armed civilians have trusted CorBon JHP as their carry round for decades. Always cycle a minimum of 50–100 rounds through your specific firearm to confirm reliable feeding before committing to it as your primary carry load.
