Product Description
38 Super Auto +P 115 gr. SCHP
True to Super Vel’s legacy of “super velocity,” our .38 Super Auto +P load sends a 115 gr. Solid Copper Hollow Point at a sizzling 1,400 feet per second from a standard Colt Government Model. This turbo-powered load generates 500 ft/lbs of muzzle energy, 25% greater than a 9mm Luger +P load with the same bullet weight.
The .38 Super Auto is the only pistol cartridge that was specifically designed to shoot gangsters, introduced in 1929 during the turbulent Prohibition Era when the likes of Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde and Pretty Boy Floyd murdered and robbed. Robbing banks then shooting from “getaway cars,” these homicidal criminals spurred a cartridge to penetrate car doors, the .38 Super Auto.
Today the .38 Super Auto is still a potent defensive round, and Super Vel’s proven Solid Copper Hollow Point performs spectacularly through barriers as well as offering maximum stopping power.
