Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.

Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 38 Special +P 110gr FTX Critical Defense until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

The .38 Special was introduced by Smith and Wesson in 1898 and served as the standard police cartridge in the United States for most of the twentieth century. It remains one of the most popular revolver cartridges in the world thanks to its mild recoil and accuracy, and it can be fired in any revolver chambered for .357 Magnum.
