Went through 50 rounds of the .40 JHP 180gr. This ammo is terrible. Very dirty/fouling. Bad grouping also 85% of the hollow points didnt expand properly. Most of the rounds stayed intact. These rounds are really dirty and perform like a FMJ. I wouldnt recommend.

Bought this ammo in 380 ACP JHP for my Bersa Thunder. Good patterns, clean burning, no missfires. No qualms in using it for personal protection.

I had wondered this as well, though, after research I have found that you are taking a chance with the .38 S&W in any .38 not made for the "S&W." I have heard that because the S&W is not as long, it has the ability to cause damage, though some have said they have had no issues yet. The kew word being "Yet." My advice is not to try it unless you are willing to replace your gun at any moment.

i need to find ammo for a 38 lemmon squezzer with a pat date of around the late 1870 s to early 1900 s
Details:Â
the 38 i speak of is a s&w with pat dates ranging from feb 20/77 to sept 2/98 one date that is real clear is dec 1877 it was handed down to me by my grandfather and i would like to find some ammo for it i would love to get a good answer on this i have been told they dont make ammo for it any moreAnswers
A:Â
If it's a break top model, its likely a "38 S&W" (not "38 Special") Ammo is available, but the gun is getting up there in the years. It might be time for an honorable retirement rather than risk a family heirloom (or your health)Details:Â
I have a Ruger GP100 which I have never fired personally yet and am looking at ammunition for it. What in your opinions would be a bood ammo for this, grain etc? And why?Answers
A:Â
I've shot the following rounds through my wife's GP100 with no problems:- 130 grn., FMJ, .38 special rounds from Winchester ('white box') and Remington (UMC)
- 158 grn., LRN, .38 special rounds from Federal (American Eagle)
- 158 grn., JSP, .357 magnum rounds from PMC and Federal (American Eagle)
I hope that helps!

start with 38s so you can get used to the gun and the feel of it as it fires. Then when you get more comfortable with shooting 38s, go to a 357 mag 125 grain Jacketed Soft Point. Then go to a 158 Grain. 180 Grain is the heaviest. I personally like 158s. Moderate recoil with enough knockdown power to take down a bear.Details:Â
WILL THE 38 S&W FIT THIS HANDGUN?Answers
A:Â
Yes, but NOT +P ammunition !! Could harm the weapon....and yourself.A:Â
If it is chambered for .38 Colt Police Positive, it will shoot .38 S&W. The only difference is the shape of the bullet, and the only reason Colt did this was a brand war. It will not shoot the .38 Special.Answers
A:Â
Dont think soA:Â
Yes, absolutely......45 Long Colt....Not .45 ACPA:Â
If your refering to .45 Long Colt or .45 Colt LSWC, then the answer is yes.

I am currently researching the "Judge" for concealed carry, from what I have read it is supposed to work with any factory loaded .45LC and 410 "handgun" ammo. To be 100% sure you should check with Taurus, or ask a reputable gunsmith.Answers
A:Â
It's my understanding that, specific to .38 special caliber ammo, the "+P" designation means the ammo's a hotter/higher velocity load. My Smith & Wesson manual specifically recommends that +P ammo only be shot in newer revolvers designed to support it (e.g. newer L-frame revolvers and others, as per the manufacturer's guidelines).A:Â
pointA:Â
+ P stands for (additional pressure, and accordingly higher velocity). Great for modern era snub nose or other very short barrel revolvers. Caution to owners of older revolvers: If your weapon is suited for higher pressures, the barrel should be stamped for such...i.e. ".38 SPL +P". If your barrel is stamped only with .38 special, DO NOT use +P ammunition.A:Â
+P (or +P+) means a higher pressure cartridge. Higher pressure means faster velocities and more energy into your target. Not all guns can shoot high pressure loadsA:Â
+P means plus powder. They are basically compressed loads. Only certain frames will handle +P loads. Make shure your gun is rated to handle +P before firing.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
+P - Stands for high pressure, ONLY use it in a firearm that is rated for +P ammo. Some nasty things can happen if you use +P in a firearm thats not rated for it, these can include damage to the firearm, a "blowback" of a fireball, burns or even catastgrophic failure which can cause serious injury and possibly death. If your not sure if your firearm is rated for +P ammo, contact the manufacturer and you can take it to any reputable gun smith and they should be able to tell you for sure.A:Â
The Sporting Arms and Ammunitions Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) publishes standards for the pressure inside the barrel that ammo creates. +P is rated at about 10% above standard pressure.This is still much lower than +P+ (30-40% higher pressure) and magnum (up to twice the pressure).
Shooting +P ammo in a handgun that is NOT rated for +P can be dangerous. Frames and barrels have been know to crack and "blow up" in a shooter's hand when using over pressure ammo.
Check your owners manual or call the manufacturer before shooting +P ammo.
A:Â
These "proof" rounds to be used only in firearms in excellent shape designed to handle the pressures of these loads.Answers
A:Â
There seems to be some debate about that. If the gun was made around 1900 then the recommendation is to reload .32S&W brass with black powder, since it is almost impossible to find a black powder load in that size commercially. If the gun is relatively new, then the .32S&W factory loads should be fine. If there is any doubt, I would have a gunsmith take a look at the gun, and make a recommendation.A:Â
.32 S&W only. It will not shoot the later .32 S&W Long. Bass Pro carries Remington LRN bullets in this caliber, but Sportsman's Guide has Magtech LRN for this caliber cheaper. ;)A:Â
you need 32 s&w not 32 s&w long bass pro has it in Remington I just bought 2 boxs its hard to find Remington is one of the few that still make it
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
You need .32 ammo, probably any brand will work, make sure that you don't get ammo with a "+P" rating- it will be written like ".32+P" on the box of ammo. Unless you are sure that your firearm is rated for "+P" ammo, "+P" means that it reaches a higher pressure inside the chamber when the firearm is discharged, if you use it and the firearm is not rated for it, there is a chance that it could ruin your day(i.e. blowback, catastrophic falure, injury ect)! ALSO if its a revolver it will likely be simply .32 ball(FMJ), hollow points or jacketed hollow points (JHP). I am not EXTREMELY well versed in .32's but I think they also make a .32 ACP (for semi-automatic firearms). If you take your firearm into any reputable place with a decent gun smith, they can tell you exactly what you need, but I hope this helped "clear the air" a bit for you!Answers
A:Â
It will shoot the milder .38 ACP, and is also easier on the barrel.

Your best bet would be to check with the manufacturer of your firearm to be sure, a reputable gunsmith should also be able to properly answer that question. From what I understand (I am no gunsmith though!), the big difference in the two rounds is the pressure they build inside the firearm. There may be trouble achieving enough force to properly push back the slide using the lower pressure .38 ammo. You might also have trouble with "feeding" the regular .38 ammo with magazines that are designed for the .38 super. Again from what I understand there are subtle differences in the casings between the .38 and the .38 super, but again I am no gunsmith!A:Â
Probablt to late to be of help but----38 Super +P (also commonly knowen as just 38 Super or 38 super auto) has no "regular 38" alternative. The 38 Super cartridge was developed from the old 38 ACP cartridge which is now obsolete. The 38 super case is identical to the old 38 ACP so in the unlikely event you could find any 38 ACP ammo it would physically fit into your Colt. However, the 38 Super is MUCH more powerfule than the 38 ACP. It is almost certain that 38 ACP loads would not cycle the slide on your Colt. Don't even think about it. So the answer to your question is....no. There is no alternative to 38 Super ammo for you to use in your Colt.Details:Â
I own a 38 handgun. I need to buy new ammo due to mine being so old. I bought this gun for protection only - yes I did take a class on handling a gun.I don't know what "Grain" to buy. I'm not going to use the bullets for target shooting. But, I do need something strong enough to stop an intruder if need be.

A:Â
110 Grain Federal Hydra-shoks or 110 Grain Hornady Critical defense.A:Â
Older gun?.....Factory ammunition ONLY. NO reloads, please! Anything from a 110 gr JHP up to 160gr. will be fine. If it is a snub nose...and an older gun as you state, a 158gr wadcutter might be an excellent choice for personal defense...plus it has a mild recoil.A:Â
The "grain" is referring to the weight of the bullet itself. A lighter grain will travel faster and farther. For personal defense I would buy a lighter grain of a personal defense labled ammo. Corbon and Federal make some great pd ammo.A:Â
Your ammo is probably not too old unless it has been improperly stored. Properly stored surplus WWII ammo is as good as the day it was manufactured.The weight of the bullet is a topic of much debate. Some will say bigger is better, but they are dead wrong. With pressure remaining constant, a lighter bullet will travel faster, penetrate farther, and expand better upon impact. In fact, the Army did tests in WWII to understand why Germans were killing our soldiers wearing helmets with head shots. They demonstrated that a .45 Auto dented the steel helmet, while the 9mm at the same distance penetrated through the front and out the rear. They concluded that velocity was most important and soon after the war began issuing 9mm handguns.
With the .38 Special you have 3 main choices, 110, 125, and 158 grain. Since I don't know if your revolver is rated for +P ammo, I will stick to comparing standard pressure ammo using Hornady as an example. Their 110 gr ammo has muzzle velocity of 1010 feet per second and energy (mass X velocity) of 249 foot-pounds. This energy is the famed "knockdown" power of the bullet.
Because heavier bullets move slower, you actually get less energy than with a lighter round. The 125 gr ammo by the same mfg. travels at only 900 fps, delivering 225 ft-lbs of energy. The numbers for 158 gr are worse, 800 fps/199 ft-lbs.
Make your purchase based on muzzle energy, NOT bullet weight. I would also recommend Hornady's Critical Defense ammo. There have been numerous tests showing how their flex tip expands more consistently, since it can't get clogged with fibers from penetrating clothing.
A:Â
Any hollow point round in the 125 gr. to 150 gr range will do just fine. Personally, I use lighter bullets and loads when punching holes in paper targets. The paper does not know the difference.A:Â
For personal protection just about any G in 38 will do. Actually the Wad Cutter is cheap and at close range is deadly.
A:Â
I recommend the Remington 158gr LHP +P which is known to have the best ballistic performance of the personal defense .38 Special rounds.A:Â
.38+P+ will do, but make sure you practice and clean your weapon. Practice so you know what the feeling of the round will be like when you fire the round. And with practice and a certified course you know you can put it where you want it, center mass, and clean your weapon ALWAYS.A:Â
the grain is the weight of the bullet head itself.......for personal protection you want a hollow point .......dont worry so much about the grain......Answers
A:Â
Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point. The tip of the bullet is soft lead while the rest is jacketed in copper. These work great in revolvers, but jam easily in an automatic due to the lead build up that will occur on the ramp.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
It probably refers to "SEMI Jacketed Hollow Points". What that means is that the "jacket" (usually copper) wrapped around the lead core of the projectile does not go all the way up to the tip of the round. Typically from what I have seen, a SJHP only has a "jacket" that goes about 1/2 way up the sides of the projectile. The justification for this, again from what I understand, is that it allows for further expansion in the target compared to a JHP. Hope that clarifies it for youA:Â
