What do you guys think of +P ammo, especially for use in a 642?  |
When I carried a 442 around, I used the heaviest Buffalo Bore plus P. It's a .38-you need the extra oomph. It's harder to shoot follow-ups and it' a bear to clean if you use the flatnosed lead, but if you ever have to put a hole in a BG, you'll be glad you did.
IMO, that round will deliver a lighting-bolt effect.
I'm weird, though-I like .45 over 9 mm and 45-70 over .270.
