OK, so I put a dumb song title in the subject of my post cause I thought of it as I was typing !
With that being said, my LCR is always loaded with WINCHESTER Bonded PDX1 38 Special +P 130 Grain JHP @ 950fps, but recently I read that SPEER "Gold Dot Short Barrel" [product code # 23921] +P 135 Grain Ammo with a lower velocity of 860fps is "THE BOMB".
I always carry Speer Gold Dot 124 Grain 9mm +P in my SR9c and know its great history, but I don't know anything about the ballistics of the Short Barrel 38 Special +P stuff.
Am I missing something here [advantages? disadvantages?], since the Gold Dot Short Barrel round seems sold out all the time, but that don't mean much to me since I'm looking for a hot round that will give me "The Biggest Bang for My Buck" [metaphorically speaking that is].
So...do any of you ammo Gurus know if the Speer round I speak of is just hype and I should hang with what I normally shoot? Or Jump ship to the Short Barrel ammo ???
