[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4276467, member: 3099"] Go back and try the .38 snub with 147gr target wadcutters. Federal if you can find them, probably a online purchase but they are getting more popular. Airweights are brutal with heavy bullets and it seems +P is all the rage. Even more brutal. Wadcutters are better stoppers without the recoil and you aren't going to get pretty mushrooming in a snub anyway. You want around 700 FPS. 750 max out of the 2" barrel, otherwise you are right back in the recoil. ETA: Also try them in a steel framed revolver. My 4" M15 is one of the funnest guns to shoot that I have with wadcutters. Almost as light as .22LR. [/QUOTE]
