.38-200, of "Halt! Or I'll scratch your paint!", fame. Lotta guys bought into the idea of heavy bullet "police" .38Spl loads as well, figuring the mass would help with penetration, while our own testing showed it would not penetrate a 55gal drum at close range.Give the man a cigar!!!!
As a matter of possible interest, the British Home Office typically didn't arm its' constables. Okay, most of you probably knew that. But the Colonial Office did. THe PPS I have is one example. It was chambered in the then British service round, what they called the .38-200., basically our 38 S&W with a 200 grain bullet.
Some time later, the RHKP dropped the .38-200 in favor of the 38i special and happily, I now have a neat little Colt.
