Ammo advice.

[WOLFIE4305 3]

I'm picking up a S&W 360pd from a friend on Saturday.

 

Can anyone recommend good .38+p ammo? Im not that familiar with .38 so im lost when it comes to ammo for it.

 

This will most likely become my carry gun in PA

 

Thanks

Ammo for practice or for "tactical" use?

I can pick up some cheap .38 for target shooting... I'm looking for recommendations for .38+p ammo for carry/SD

I just picked up some Hornady Critical Defense 110 gr FTX in 38 for my revolver. It's a plastic or wax tipped point so has no restrictions in NJ but supposedly performs similar to a hollow point.

Hollow points are restricted the same as handguns. So, wherever the handgun goes, the hollow points can go, too.

One of the best defensive rounds for for J-frame snubbies is Speer Gold Dot 135 gr JHP - short barrel. Go to Speer's website to get the correct SKU# for the "Short Barrel" version of this round. Specially formulated for low flash and optimim velocity from typical snub-nose length guns. It is my choice for a carry round in my 638.

 

Adios,
