A: Thanks for reaching out Dana! I can't guarantee any kind of performance out of a firearm I haven't personally tested. That said, your P38 is designed to fire all 9mm ammunition regardless of which bullet it's loaded with.

A: Thanks for reaching out Jay! No sir, this is standard pressure ammo. If we don't point out that ammo is +P or +P+, then it's fine to assume that it's loaded within standard SAAMI specs.

A: Thanks for reaching out Bill! Federal has indeed loaded their Hi-Shok bullet for a very long time – at least since the '80s. It's a fairly basic bullet as far as JHPs go, and it's been eclipsed by Federal's more technologically advanced bullets in recent years (like the Hydra-Shok and HST), but it's still an effective solution for self-defense if you can do without features that enhance more reliable penetration depth and expansion width.

A: Thanks for reaching out Bob! The cartridge we Americans commonly call "9mm" has other names including 9mm Luger and 9x19mm Parabellum. (To be sure, they're all the same exact thing.) The "9x19" part of the cartridge's name refers to two of its bullet's dimensions: 9 milimeters in diameter, 19 milimeters in overall length. In essence, it's the same idea as calling a board a two-by-four.

A: Yes sir, any of Hornady's 9mm ammo should function correctly in your handguns.

A: Hi Joseph!
Thank you for reaching out about the 9mm ammunition!
The Glock series pistols are recoil operated not gas operated, therefore your pistol should operate perfectly with these rounds.

A: These are not the same projectiles as the Hydra Shok. This is a standard hollow point projectile. This particular projectile is the design before the Hydra Shok.
