.38 Special

.38 Special ammunition is commonly used in revolvers for practice, training, recreational shooting, and personal protection. Its long-standing popularity makes this category useful for revolver owners, new shooters, and anyone stocking ammunition for regular range sessions. Shoppers may also be selecting loads for a specific classic or modern handgun, so matching the ammunition to the firearm’s markings and owner’s manual is important.When choosing, consider the intended use, bullet type, bullet weight, and package size, while confirming the ammunition is appropriate for your firearm. Range use may call for one type of load, while other applications may call for another. Browse our Handgun Ammunition category for additional options. If you have a firearm shipped to a local dealer, see our FFL transfers information; ammunition ships to your door where local law allows.
