If you're running 38 Super +P in a competition pistol or high-performance handgun, Aguila 1E382112 38 Super +P 130gr FMJ ammunition brings the velocity and consistency that serious shooters demand. This 50-round box delivers a 130-grain full metal jacket projectile engineered specifically for target shooting and match competition—the exact kind of reliable, flat-shooting performance that top pistol competitors rely on downrange.

The 38 Super +P cartridge occupies a unique spot in the handgun world: it fires hotter than standard 38 Super, generating genuine velocity gains in guns built to handle the extra pressure. At 1220 feet per second from the muzzle, Aguila's load produces 430 foot-pounds of energy—enough energy to print tight groups and deliver consistent splits on steel and paper alike. That velocity holds up too; at 100 yards you're still looking at 992 fps and 284 foot-pounds, which means less wind drift and more forgiving sight picture over distance.

Aguila ammunition is a trusted name among competitive shooters and practice-focused handgun enthusiasts. The full metal jacket bullet design minimizes fouling and feeding concerns, making these rounds a sensible choice for high-round-count practice sessions or match days when reliability matters. Whether you're honing your draw and accuracy or testing loads for a 1911 or other 38 Super–capable pistol, this ammunition delivers the performance and repeatability you're counting on.
