38 SPECIAL +P FEDERAL PERSONAL DEFENSE HST MICRO 130 GRAIN JHP (200 ROUNDS)

Sub-compact handguns are ideal for concealed carry owing to the comfort and discretion that they provide -- but that shouldn’t come at the expense of being less effective should you ever have to draw your weapon in self-defense. That’s not a problem when you opt for Federal’s Personal Defense HST Micro line of ammunition.

This 38 Special +P cartridge features a 130 grain HST projectile, which has got a cannelure in its shank to mechanically bind its jacket and core together so the bullet maintains its integrity even as it passes through thick cloth and other tough barriers. The bullet’s integrity is further assured by its coaligned internal core and external jacket skives. When the HST expands it produces six sharp petals which are designed to damage vitals while at the same time lessening the chance of potentially dangerous over-penetration occuring. The result is a round that meets even the FBI’s lofty performance standards, a comforting thing to have in your little pistol in the event that the worst should happen.
