I prefer semi-wadcutter HP when I can find them.
You've saw what I carry back in this thread.
Who Still Carries a J-Frame, Glock 43, or other Low-Cap Handgun?
I would not hesitate to pop a attacker with wadcutters!
However if they are loaded up to top 38 specs they might go completely through!
And I seem to remember a full wadcutter gets unstable at a certain range (more than likely further out than 50yds)!
I dont know if you have read much on the subject of hunting with cast lead boolits, but from what I have read the big wide nose hits harder because of the surface area! And they drive deep deep deep!
Ross Seyfried had a good write up about Ultimate cast hangun Bullets (for hunting) in the October 1993 issue of guns and ammo.
Thats the only one that comes to mind this moment
Is that a model 65?
3 incher is a nice balance!
If that puppy was mine I would probably ditch the pachmyers in favor of the S&W walnut slabs!
I carry a sp101 from time to time.
Yes sir, that’s a 3” 65. I bought it from a retired state trooper who bought it new in ‘83.Is that a model 65?

I’ve got nicer grips, but I like the feel of the Pachmayrs.
Yes. In my Airweight I do. Reload is Gold Dot Short Barrel in a speed strip.
Steel framed snubbies get the GD load.
Ooooo, that's pretty!
Snubbies are awesome, better that than nothing.
everyone has an opinion, but from my point of view anything that you carry is better than anything you leave at home....
Personally, i think the 9mm semi-auto pocket guns like the Sig Sauer p365 are a better bet. same size as the snubbies, but more capacity and easier reload, and the choice to get a larger backup mag. all guns that size are hard to shoot, but i find the hard trigger pull of the snubby and the 5 shot capacity a limiting factor. Then again, if i had to shove a gun into a man's rib cage i'd rather have the snubby....

I have a dumb question about keeping an automatic pistol loaded. Will the springs in a clip weaken over time when kept loaded all the time? I carry a revolver because of this question, but the vast majority of police carry automatic weapons? Do they have to change out clips on a regular bases, or is this not even a problem? Thanks.
