Norma NXD 38 Special 38gr Self Defense Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Norma NXD 38 Special delivers maximum stopping power in a lightweight 38-grain projectile engineered specifically for personal protection scenarios. This premium self-defense ammunition combines Norma's century of ballistics expertise with modern terminal performance technology to create reliable expansion and energy transfer when it matters most.

What Makes This Different

The NXD (Norma eXtreme Defense) line features a unique projectile design that creates multiple wound channels through fluid dynamics rather than traditional expansion. Unlike conventional hollow points that can clog with fabric or fail to expand at lower velocities, the NXD bullet maintains consistent performance across various barrier materials. The 38-grain weight provides reduced recoil while maintaining sufficient penetration depth for effective personal defense.

Key Features

• 38-grain NXD projectile for reduced recoil and fast follow-up shots
• Fluted bullet design creates permanent wound cavity through fluid displacement
• Consistent expansion regardless of clothing or barrier interference
• Premium brass cases with reliable primer ignition
• Optimized powder charge for snub-nose and standard barrel revolvers
• Clean-burning propellant reduces fouling and maintenance
• Factory-fresh ammunition with consistent quality control

This ammunition performs consistently across temperature ranges and delivers predictable ballistics whether fired from 2-inch snub-nose revolvers or longer barrel configurations. The lightweight projectile achieves higher velocities than traditional 125-grain or 158-grain loads, resulting in flatter trajectory and reduced drop at defensive distances. Law enforcement agencies and security professionals rely on similar NXD technology for duty applications where over-penetration concerns must be balanced with stopping effectiveness.
