[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1251284, member: 6406"] Ditto, at least for the summer. I carry the 125 gr standard pressure loads which are a little shy on penetration on bare gelatin and overpenetrate when faced with heavy clothing [url=http://www.firearmstactical.com/test_data/38spl/fed38spl-125nhp-swm60.htm]according to the tests I've seen[/url], but I think the light recoil makes it an acceptable tradeoff. Plus, heavy clothing probably won't be an issue during the summer. The other summer load I would consider would be the Cor-Bon DPX standard pressure load, since that tends to do fairly well in tests. If I decide to carry the thing during the winter then I'll probably pick up some of Buffalo Bore's Short Barrel Low Flash 158gr LHP loads, since Buffalo Bore pushes those at the ragged edge of "standard pressure."
