Reliable. Affordable. Effective. There are many reasons why the 38 Special snubnosed revolver has stayed a favorite among Americans for so many decades. But the classic will always have a shortcoming by design: its short barrel does not impart relatively much velocity to a bullet, which can cause many JHPs to fail to expand altogether.

This cartridge’s 158 grain bullet overcomes that shortcoming. The semi-wadcutter hollow point is made of soft lead and has no brass jacket – both reasons why it can undergo expansion following lower-velocity impact. And even if the SWC does fail to expand, its flat nose profile and angular shoulder are certain to inflict heavy damage to soft tissues.

This round’s bullet features “Black Cherry” polymer coating. It does not affect terminal ballistics, although it does protect against gas cutting and abrasion in addition to nearly eliminating lead fouling. Better yet, it does not stink of burnt plastic on ignition.

Underwood’s nickel-plated brass cases provide added protection against corrosion and tarnishing, and reduce friction to speed up extraction from the cylinder. The American company’s flash-suppressed powder will spare you from bright, blinding muzzle flash in the dark. This ammo is lever-action safe!
