Nosler ASP handgun ammunition in .38 Special is built for shooters who need reliable expansion without compromise. The 125-grain jacketed hollow-point round exits the muzzle at 930 fps and combines the precision heritage Nosler built with Match Grade loads with a purpose-designed defensive bullet. Whether you're loading for duty carry, personal protection, or a revolver you trust, ASP ammunition pairs serious stopping power with the accuracy and consistency that separates premium ammo from commodity rounds.

The hollow-point bullet design features a skived jacket engineered to expand reliably across a range of impact velocities—a critical feature for defensive work where shot placement and bullet performance matter most. The jacket mouth is shaped for smooth, reliable feeding through revolvers and semi-automatic platforms alike, and the controlled expansion and penetration are optimized for effective energy transfer on target. Every round is loaded in Nosler headstamped brass with quality components throughout, reflecting the same meticulous attention to detail that Match Grade shooters have relied on for years.

ASP ammunition rounds come in convenient 20-count boxes, making it practical to keep defensive loads on hand and get quality practice reps downrange. Nosler's reputation for accuracy extends to this line—you're not sacrificing precision for stopping power. This is ammunition built for serious use: law enforcement and civilian defensive shooters alike trust ASP to perform when the stakes are highest.
