Description
The CorBon 38 Super +P 115gr JHP load is built for shooters who want a proven 38 Super +P round from a company that helped shape modern high-velocity handgun ammunition. Each box holds 20 cartridges loaded with a 115 grain jacketed hollow point bullet rated at 1425 feet per second, producing about 519 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. CorBon designs its JHP bullets to open reliably, even after passing through heavy clothing, and to transfer energy quickly for dependable stopping power.
This 38 Super 115 grain hollow point is rated from a 5 inch barrel, the length of a standard full-size 1911, so the numbers match the pistols most 38 Super owners carry.

Why Choose the CorBon 38 Super +P 115gr JHP
- 115 grain jacketed hollow point bullet
- Rated 1425 fps muzzle velocity, 519 ft-lbs energy
- Designed for reliable expansion through heavy clothing
- Reloadable brass cases with boxer primers
- 20 rounds per box, item SD38X115/20
Built for Personal Protection
- Carry and home-defense handguns chambered in 38 Super +P
- Shooters who want a high-velocity defensive load
- Practice sessions to confirm point of impact with your carry ammo
- Keeping one consistent lot of ammo in your carry gun and range bag
Before you trust any new defensive load, fire at least 50 to 100 rounds through your handgun to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Rotate your carry ammo every so often, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box so the cartridges stay clean and easy to identify by lot number.
Many 38 Super pistols see most of their use in competition, so it is worth confirming how your gun runs with a hotter defensive load. Fire several magazines of the CorBon 38 Super +P 115gr JHP to check feeding, ejection and point of impact, and consider a recoil spring suited to +P loads if your pistol maker recommends one.

Why Choose CorBon 38 Super +P Ammo
The 38 Super has long been respected for its speed and flat trajectory, and the CorBon +P load shows why. At a rated 1425 fps and 519 foot-pounds, the 115 grain JHP delivers performance that rivals many 357 SIG and 357 Magnum loads, while the slim 38 Super case lets 1911 pistols hold more rounds than a comparable 45 ACP.
When you compare 38 super self defense ammo, the lighter 115 grain bullet gives you the highest velocity and quickest expansion in the caliber. It pairs well with 38 Super 1911 pistols from Colt, Dan Wesson, Springfield, Kimber and Rock Island, as well as competition guns that have been set up for carry. Always confirm your pistol is rated for +P ammunition.
CorBon has built high-velocity defensive ammunition in South Dakota since 1982, when the company set out to solve a common problem: hollow points that plugged with clothing and failed to expand. That focus on real-world performance is still at the heart of every box. Corbon 38 super +p ammo is loaded to tight standards so shot-to-shot velocity stays consistent, which helps you build confidence in the same load you train with and carry.
1911 owners who carry a 38 Super for personal protection and shooters who want high velocity with manageable recoil will find this load a strong choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 38 Super +P, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
