Ammo

With ya on .357's. in a 60. My choice .38 HPLWC. The old FBI load. At 75, If trained, believe muscle memory will override arthritic hands in a defensive situation lasting matter of seconds unless it's dibilitating. Good luck

158gr HPLWC

Thank you faison for your suggestion! Opa

If I can find it I use 158gr HPLWC , if not I always have Hornady Critical Defense on hand.
I use it in my Model 36.

I use Winchester 125 Gr. JHP .38 Spl.+P in both my M-36 and M-10-7 2". It's on the hot side, but my arthritic hands can take it, once in awhile. For self defense, when somebody wants to kill you, I use the most effective ammo that I can handle! I don't use .357 Mag for anything. Both too strong and too loud!!!! Bob

Thank you all for responding to my ammo question! Opa
