Yesterday, I bought my first box of 50 Winchester 158 Grain Semi-Wadcutters in .38 Special. The next thing I have to do is buy a gun. Is this known as putting the cart before the horse? XY17

Old Fuff, thank you for your suggestions! In a previous post, I thought that your observations were most interesting regarding .32 loads: "But if one decides to stick to factory loads I would pick the wadcutter in most cases, because within the limits of the cartridge, this nose...

Old Fuff, thank you for your response. There are a lot of shoes in your closet to choose from! I looked at the Taurus selections. They do have a lot of good looking models. I also spent some more time on the Smith & Wesson website and I keep coming up with the Model 642. I agree with you...

"The Old Fuff often carries .38 Special (standard load) Cowboy loads in his pocket snubby, with no worries about so-called stopping power. If an aggressor gets stopped it's because of bullet placement." Old Fuff, Which model .38 Special pocket stubby do you carry or recommend? I'm...

Hello All After a long break from my endless research, I've decided to go for a Smith & Wesson 642 .38 Special +P for my concealed pocket carry. Although I would prefer a brand new gun, I really don't want a revolver with a lock. Should I try to find a pre-lock version, hopefully in...

mdao...........you are correct! (Not counted as a murder yet. I'm guessing xy17 included the total for reference.) XY17

The murder tally in Philadelphia is at 106 or so for 2007. Last year topped 500. http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_update/20070405_Home_invasion_ends_in_fatal_shootout.html According to the 22-year-old male resident, minutes after 11 p.m., two men confronted him outside his home in the...

I like my locks with bagels. XY17

spwenger, bubbygator, Hemicuda & tepin, Thank you for your responses. I imagine that a flamable jacket could be a problem. I wouldn't want to fire a .357 Magnum and get burned unless I was in this situation. I wonder if the fabric would prevent a hollow point from opening and the bullet...
