.38 Special ammunition delivers a balanced blend of mild recoil and consistent accuracy, propelling 125- to 158-grain bullets at 750–900 fps for 150–225 ft-lbs of energy—perfect for both precision target work and self-defense. Full metal jacket (FMJ) loads offer reliable feeding and economical practice, while jacketed hollow point (JHP) rounds expand predictably for close-range stopping power. Compatible with classic revolvers like the Smith & Wesson Model 10, Ruger Security-Six and Colt Detective Special, these cartridges produce tight groups and manageable muzzle blast. At Sportsman’s Outdoor Superstore, compare top brands and load options, then complete your .38 Special ammo purchase online with competitive pricing, secure checkout and fast shipping.
