About 38 Super Ammunition

The .38 Super was developed in the 1920s as a high-velocity handgun cartridge for law enforcement. It quickly gained popularity for its flat shooting and powerful ballistics, making it a favorite among competition shooters. The round offers better penetration than traditional .45 ACP and is still widely used in some competitive circles today.

Types of 38 Super Loadings

  • Full Metal Jacket (FMJ): Like the name suggests, these types of loadings feature projectiles which are adorned with metal jacketing. This jacket is generally made of copper and will cover the tip and sides of the projectile. Typically, the base of the projectile is left uncoated.These types of loadings are well-suited for range use and are some of the most common types of ammo one will encounter.
  • Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP): JHP loadings feature hollow point projectiles which are adorned with a full metal jacket. These loadings are generally found in the form of defensive ammo offerings and are designed to facilitate reliable expansion upon impact. Additionally, these types of loadings are designed to achieve adequate levels of penetration for defensive purposes while not over penetrating the target and risking collateral damage. A good hollow point loading is one that achieves an appropriate level of penetration while expanding reliably upon impact within the target.

Firearms that Use 38 Super Ammo
