The Remington HTP 38 Special +P 110 grain semi-jacketed hollow point load balances manageable recoil with terminal expansion in snub-nose revolvers and service-length barrels. At 995 fps and 242 ft-lbs, this cartridge sits between standard-pressure 38 Special and full-house 357 Magnum — ideal for shooters who want defensive performance without the blast and flip of magnum loads. Remington applies waterproof sealant to every primer and case mouth, so humidity, rain, and sweat won’t compromise ignition during carry. Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases let you recycle the brass once fired. The 38 Special +P cartridge is a centerfire revolver round designed for higher chamber pressure than standard 38 Special, requiring firearms marked “+P” on the barrel or frame.
Built for the Box
Remington manufactures HTP ammunition in the United States, loading each case with a semi-jacketed hollow point bullet that expands on contact with soft tissue while retaining enough weight to penetrate clothing layers. The 110-grain bullet weight reduces felt recoil compared to 125- or 158-grain options, making follow-up shots faster in double-action fire. Muzzle velocity of 995 fps from a 4-inch barrel drops to approximately 920 fps from a 2-inch snub-nose, still sufficient for cavity expansion at defensive distances. Case type is brass with a Boxer primer pocket, non-corrosive, so fired cases clean easily and reload consistently. Each box holds 20 rounds.
