This .38 Special ammunition from Federal works well for recoil sensitive shooters and those who simply don't like the kick of a subcompact carry revolver firing full power ammunition. Lower recoil is more than a matter of comfort; it makes faster follow-up shots much easier as well.

Each cartridge in this case of 200 fires a 110 grain jacketed hollow point bullet at a muzzle velocity of roughly 980 feet per second. The use of a light bullet enables this ammo to deliver reduced recoil without sacrificing expansion potential, although it does reduce penetration slightly.

Federal Personal Defense ammo is loaded in Anoka, Minnesota using non-corrosive Boxer primers and nickel-plated brass cases. It uses Hydra-Shok bullets, which have a proven record as a self-defense load thanks to their effective center-post design.

Ballistic Gel Test

Image showing Federal .38 Special 110 Grain rounds fired into ballistic gel

Ballistics Test Summary

We test fired five rounds of .38 Special Federal 110 gr Hydra-Shok Low Recoil into synthetic ballistic gelatin to observe its expansion and penetration characteristics. The ammo was fired from a Kimber K6s pistol at a distance of 10 feet. A four-layer barrier of heavy fabric was placed in front of the gelatin to simulate clothing.

The complete data for this load from our test can be found on the chart below. The photo slider displays the expanded bullets that were retrieved from the gel. Pictured below is a high speed video that shows the bullet entering the gel at approximately 10,000 frames per second. The diagrams at the bottom of the page should give you an idea of how this load compares to other .38 Special loads.
