Standard Pressure Short Barrel Low Flash Heavy .38 Special Ammo
125gr. Jacketed Hollow Point - (900 fps/M.E. 225 ft. lbs.)
20 Round Box

ITEM 20E

Due to customer demand, we've developed this defensive 38SPL ammo. Our customers wanted some devastating 38SPL loads that would fill the following criteria. 

1. It won't hurt older/fragile/alloy revolvers. (Non +P)
2. Is effective as a "fight stopper" through the use of proper bullets. 
3. Is more powerful than typical/standard, weak 38SPL ammo.
4. Generate much less recoil than our +P 38SPL ammo.
5. Is flash suppressed.

Buffalo Bore is introducing these three different heavy, yet standard pressure loadings for 38 SPL. These offerings are loaded at standard pressure, but they are much more powerful than normal 38 SPL ammo. These loads will not harm older more fragile revolvers. So, these loads are safe for use in ANY 38 SPL revolver, provided it is in normal working condition. As stated above, the "POWER" level of these loads is really closer to a typical +P power level, but the pressure is standard. We are able to develop these powerful standard pressure loads with modern non-canister powders. Again, these loads recoil far less than our +P 38 SPL ammo. 

This load is flash suppressed, so firing it in the dark won't blind you. We use flash suppressed powder in our defensive ammo, in the loadings where we can, because over 90% of all civilian shootings in America occur in low light when the criminal element is at work. We don't want you blinded by your own gunfire after the first shot. 

Item 20E utilizes a Jacketed Hollow Point 125 gr. Jacketed hollow nose bullet. This bullet is designed to expand at low speeds and has no problem opening up at considerably less velocity than our advertised 900 fps, from two-inch barrels. Penetration in human tissue is roughly 12 inches. Note my test velocities below from real world, "over the counter" revolvers - NOT TEST BARRELS!

➤    921 fps (235 ft. lbs.) -- S&W mod. 60, 2-inch barrel
➤    938 fps (244 ft. lbs.) -- S&W mod. 66, 2.5-inch barrel
➤  1019 fps (288 ft. lbs.) -- Ruger SP101, 3-inch barrel
➤  1078 fps (322 ft. lbs.) -- S&W Mt. Gun, 4-inch barrel

Accurate & effective. I really enjoy the performance out of my gen 4 detective special. Out of my 4" 686 this stuff is fun.

Been using this for target ammo in a new S&W model 19 4.25 inch combat magnum. Very accurate. Very clean burning. Way too expensive for target ammo. Only reliable availability out there these days. Got my girlfriend hooked on shooting. All Buffalo Bore ammo I've used has been top notch. Keep loadin em Tim.
