Default Corbon DPX 38 Special Question

I've heard great things about the Corbon DPX ammo in .38 Special and think it would be the perfect SD food for my S&W Model 38 Airweight. It seems Corbon used to make a standard pressure, non +P version of this ammunition. Does anyone know where you can find it?

Unfortunately Corbon® no longer offers a standard pressure load in 38 Special. Hornady® OTOH, offers these two loads; one +P, and one standard pressure..........

I may have to move on to Buffalo Bore with the Barnes TAC-XP bullet. (Damn, ammo has gotten expensive in the last year.)

Nothing wrong with Buffalo Bore® products; I use their ammo as my SD carry loads in 357 Magnum and 38 Special.
