.38 Special +P (Plus P) ammunition is a higher-pressure version of the standard .38 Special cartridge, designed to provide enhanced performance without significantly altering the physical dimensions of the round. This makes it a popular choice among those seeking improved stopping power and ballistics for self-defense and law enforcement applications. Here’s an overview of .38 Special +P ammo, including its specifications, benefits, and considerations.

Specifications

  • Caliber: .38 Special +P
  • Bullet Weight: Common bullet weights for +P rounds range from 125 to 158 grains.
  • Typical Velocity: Depending on the bullet weight, velocities typically range from about 900 to 1,200 feet per second (fps).
  • Pressure: .38 Special +P ammunition is loaded to a higher pressure than standard .38 Special rounds, typically around 18,500 psi, compared to the standard maximum of 17,000 psi.

Benefits of .38 Special +P

  1. Increased Velocity and Energy: The +P designation means the cartridge is loaded to produce higher velocity and energy, improving terminal ballistics. This results in greater stopping power, which is especially important for self-defense.
  2. Improved Expansion: Many .38 Special +P rounds are designed with hollow-point bullets that expand upon impact, creating larger wound channels and enhancing the effectiveness against threats.
  3. Compatibility: Most modern revolvers chambered for .38 Special are rated to handle +P ammunition, making it a viable option for those seeking more power without switching to a different caliber.

Uses

  • Self-Defense: .38 Special +P ammunition is popular for concealed carry and home defense due to its enhanced stopping power. It is commonly used in snub-nosed revolvers, which are favored for their compact size and ease of concealment.
  • Law Enforcement: Many law enforcement agencies have utilized .38 Special +P rounds in their standard-issue revolvers for the additional stopping power they offer.

Considerations

  1. Recoil: The increased pressure and energy of +P rounds can lead to more noticeable recoil compared to standard .38 Special ammunition. Shooters should practice with +P ammo to become comfortable with its handling.
  2. Firearm Compatibility: Not all .38 Special revolvers are rated for +P ammunition. It’s crucial to check the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure that your firearm can safely handle +P loads. Using +P ammo in firearms not rated for it can lead to safety concerns and potential damage.
  3. Cost: .38 Special +P ammunition can be more expensive than standard .38 Special rounds. Budgeting for practice and self-defense training is essential.
  4. Barrel Length and Performance: Performance can vary based on the barrel length of your revolver. Shorter barrels may not fully realize the benefits of +P loads, as the increased velocity can be more pronounced in longer barrels.

Certainly! Here’s a deeper look at .38 Special +P ammunition, covering its history, performance characteristics, and best practices for use.

History and Development

The .38 Special cartridge was introduced in 1898 and became popular for revolvers. It was widely adopted by law enforcement agencies and civilians alike due to its manageable recoil and adequate stopping power. The introduction of .38 Special +P ammunition occurred as a response to the demand for higher performance, particularly in self-defense scenarios.

The “+P” designation indicates that the ammunition is loaded to higher pressure than standard .38 Special rounds, which enhances its velocity and energy without changing the bullet’s dimensions. This allows shooters to achieve better terminal performance while still using firearms designed for the standard .38 Special cartridge.

Conclusion

.38 Special +P ammunition offers a reliable option for those seeking enhanced performance from their .38 Special revolvers. With increased velocity, energy, and effective expansion, it is well-suited for self-defense and law enforcement applications. However, shooters must ensure their firearms are compatible with +P rounds and be mindful of recoil and cost. Regular practice with this ammunition type will help shooters become proficient and confident in their defensive capabilities.
