Hornady American Gunner 38 Special 125gr XTP - Defensive Ammo - 25rd

38 Special American Gunner XTP gives revolver shooters access to Hornady's defensive bullet performance in a practice-priced load. The XTP's controlled expansion performs consistently across .38 Special's velocity range, from snub-nose 1.875" barrels to 4" service revolvers.

Training with the same bullet you carry eliminates the variable of switching ammunition for a defensive situation — point of impact, recoil impulse, and terminal behavior are consistent across the training and carry loads. At 125 grains, this XTP is engineered for the velocity range typical of 38 Special in production barrel lengths — controlled expansion without over-expanding at close range. Quality brass, primers, and propellant are held to the same standards Hornady applies across the catalog — consistent velocity, reliable extraction, and predictable point of impact from a platform that rewards regular training.
