Buffalo Bore Ammunition is some of the best defensive ammo available today. This load was manufactured specifically by Buffalo Bore to meet the need for shooters carrying older/fragile/alloy revolvers. (Non +P) This particular load is effective as a "fight stopper" through the use of proper bullets, is more powerful than typical/standard, weak 38SPL ammo, generates much less recoil than Buffalo Bore +P 38SPL ammo, and is flash suppressed.
The Buffalo Bore 20E utilizes a Jacketed Hollow Point 125 grain bullet. This bullet is designed to expand at low speeds and has no problem opening up at considerably less velocity than the boxes 900 fps, from two inch barrels. Penetration in human tissue is roughly 12 inches.

THE GOOD STUFF ALWAYS GETS THE JOB DONE!
I have a fairly wide variety of firearms that I have acquired throughout a life of actual use and instructing throughout 3 military branches, 3 different L/E agencies, Government Contractor work, Corporate Security, an FBI trained and certified L/E academies Firearm Instructor, Deadly Force/Force on Force/Weapon Retention/Less Lethal Force/Def. Tactics Instr & Competitive Shooter. As an adult I have stopped a personal home invasion attempt (5+ miscreants) and 2 terrorist attacks on duty. As a kid and only child I ''dealt with'' aggressive poachers/dope growers/thugs beginning at 14y/o when my family moved into a very remote and large wooded area surrounding our 20 acres, injuring our (4)dogs shot/1 stabbed via pitchfork! I had to learn to track, hunt and repel said rednecks throughout high school with an 870, a Star PD .45 1911 & Ruger Mini 14. I even had a .22 LR round ricochet off my skull once. After that I took to a FAST learning curve against grown men and was given great latitude from the resident deputies. I had first shot a gun at 5y/o, being part Iroquois, and absorbed everything available on ballistics/tactics/and assistance from 2 frmr Vietnam SF ''adoptive Godfathers.'' I received a 1962 Colt Detective and Charter Arms .44 Bulldog-both exceptional weps that only seemed limited by having to use (non +P) rounds. Back then it was Speer Gold Dots mostly, now I am so happy to have honest ballistic rounds from Buffalo Bore as well! What has worked well, accurately and successfully every time called upon is the peace of mind as surely as the old bowie & the old 870 shotgun I still have. The original 20 gauge was stolen at 15y/o, the 12 ga replacement has my signature on it, a custom 32'' Hastings hvy bbl and I converted it to a 10+1 shot. That old Colt Detective can still shoot insane groups at 50 yds with Buffalo Bore's standard velocity specialty .38 rounds and their .44 special Antipersonnel Bulldog rds saved me from some pain with a pack of feral dogs many years later, very alone and deep in a swamp-albeit with a mix of Speer Gold Dots also. I'm older now, some military injuries have come to roost-but now all the neighbors along the mile of our old, once lonely dirt road leading to the family home where Mom remains is the safest area likely in the county near Columbia, S.C. Once it was overgrown 1k+ acreage surrounding our 20 acres ''on the hill.'' The 1980s was a real fast time of personal growth and shaped my future, but my personal forging taught me the value of the right gear and the rightness of finding justice even if you have to bleed a bit to get there! There are no more poachers, break ins, pot fields nor any pets being shot. Semper Fi and God Bless.

Good round
Last time I ordered these I received the ones with a SJHP bullet (as shown), this time they had the Barnes Tac-XP bullet. Same product number. Reading reviews on other sites, this seems to be common. Both are accurate and expand just fine, I like using these in my snubbie, even though it's +P rated. The price is way too high though. Pros: Accurate Cons: Very expensive
