A: Hi Anthony! Unfortunately, we do not have any testing data on that particular load. However, the 158 grain bullet would help to ensure adequate penetration and would help to make up for any velocity loss in the barrel length. At typical handgun self-defense distances, this load would probably be a good choice.

A: Hi Eric! Thanks for checking in with us. This is a standard pressure round (not +P) and would be suitable for any .38 Special or .357 Magnum revolver in good condition.

A: Yes, the copper jacketing will keep the leading significantly reduced. Many will not fire any other type of bullet in their revolver for this reason.

A: Hello Danny,
Yes, these 158gr. JHP rounds by Magtech in .38 Special will work in your S&W Bodyguard. These make excellent target and defense rounds and you should have no problems with them.
