Winchester Defender 38 Special +P 130gr JHP S38PDB Overview

Winchester Defender 38 Special +P 130 grain bonded jacketed hollow point S38PDB ammo uses a 130-grain bonded jacketed hollow point in a 38 Special +P defensive loading. The +P marking distinguishes its pressure class from ordinary 38 Special practice cartridges. Its bonded bullet construction addresses retention of the jacket and core during intended expansion.

A revolver's ability to chamber 38 Special does not by itself establish that it is approved for +P pressures. Winchester lists 950 fps for this ammunition, providing a factory ballistic point of reference for the specific 130-grain cartridge. The Defender bullet uses a hollow-point cavity in combination with bonding rather than relying on a non-expanding target nose.

For owners of compact 38 Special revolvers, the intersection of firearm pressure rating and the exact bullet load is an essential consideration. The product number S38PDB helps distinguish this 130-grain +P load from other Defender chamberings. Winchester packages the nickel-plated-brass ammo in 20-round boxes manufactured in the United States.
