Double Tap 38 Super +P 124gr JHP Defense Ammunition

Description

This 38 Super +P load from Double Tap brings the power you'd expect from a cartridge that dominated early law enforcement and continues to thrive in competition. The 124-grain hollow point reaches 1350 feet per second out of a standard 5-inch barrel, generating over 500 foot-pounds of muzzle energy for the kind of terminal performance you need when reliability matters.

Double Tap 38 Super +P Design and Performance

Double Tap has built its reputation on maximizing what each caliber can deliver, and this load shows their philosophy. The jacketed hollow point bullet expands on impact while maintaining the penetration the cartridge is known for. This balance between expansion and deep penetration makes the round work as well for personal defense as it does for training, since you're not relying on a fragile projectile that falls apart. The brass cases are reloadable, so if you're into handloading, you'll appreciate the quality.

It's a straightforward +P load that meets SAAMI specifications, so any gun rated for 38 Super +P will cycle these rounds reliably.

If you're running a 1911 in 38 Super, a modern competition build, or a concealed-carry pistol, this load performs across the full range of 38 Super applications.
