Speer Handgun Jacketed Hollow Point bullets are designed for shooters who prioritize high velocity and explosive energy transfer. This 110-grain projectile is a lightweight option for .38 Special and .357 Magnum enthusiasts, offering a flatter trajectory and significantly reduced felt recoil compared to standard 158-grain loads. The large hollow point cavity is engineered to initiate expansion immediately upon impact, making it a popular choice for varmint control and recreational target shooting. Because of its light weight, it can be driven at impressive speeds, providing a high-shock terminal effect while maintaining the consistent accuracy Speer is known for. Defensive Application These lightweight hollow points offer rapid expansion and high energy dump. While effective, they may lack the deep penetration of heavier bonded projectiles and are sensitive to barriers.
