A: Hi James. These particular rounds are standard pressure .38 spl. They are not +P.

A: Hi James. Thanks for reaching out to us at LuckyGunner.com. As of now, we are only testing ammo that is specifically designed for self-defense. That LSWC round does work for defense and duty use, but is not specifically designed as such. With the constant stream of new designs for duty ammo, I don't know if we will ever get to the "dual purpose" ammo. Let me know if I can assist in any way.

A: They are nickle plated. They are not polished like many of the self defense casings are though. So these will have a more dull finish to them.

A: Hello,
These 158gr. rounds by Federal in .38 Special are a Lead Semi Wad Cutter (LSWC) and not a jacketed hollow point (JHP). You can use them for self defense, but they will perform differently than a JHP round.
