MAGTECH 38 SPL+P 125SJSP FLAT 50/

Description

Magtech’s 38D is a range and training load designed for revolvers chambered in .38 Special, and it suits shooters who want a round they can run consistently through practice sessions without stepping down from a meaningful performance envelope. The +P pressure rating pushes velocity higher than standard .38 Special loadings, which translates to a more honest representation of terminal behavior during drills—you’re not training with a round that performs significantly differently from what you’d carry.

The semi-jacketed soft point flat bullet design is a deliberate choice for a training round. The partial jacket controls the bullet’s behavior under acceleration through the barrel while the exposed lead at the tip allows some expansion on impact, keeping it a step closer to a defensive profile than a full metal jacket would. The flat nose geometry also produces clean, easily visible holes in paper targets, which matters when you’re calling shots and tracking your groups at speed.

Magtech loads this ammunition with brass cases, which hold up well to the mechanical stresses of +P pressures and are worth retaining if you reload. At 125 grains, the bullet weight sits in a range that balances controllable recoil with adequate momentum for practical accuracy work. Each box contains 50 rounds, making it straightforward to run structured practice sessions without constantly breaking to reload.

This is a workmanlike round from a manufacturer with a long production history in both commercial and law enforcement markets. It does what a training cartridge should: deliver repeatable performance at a price point that keeps round count reasonable.
