A Utah friend of mine called to ask about using a .38 Special with a 4" barrel as a trail gun and a defensive gun in the mountains of his home state. He has 158 grain, cast SWC and SJSP flat point, +P ammuntion that are showing 890 FPS muzzle velocity on the boxes. I recommended getting a .357 Magnum or a larger caliber. But, he says, for now, money is tight and he likes his old service size S&W Model 10, anyway.
In the South, where I am from, a .38 Special would be fine, IMHO. But, what would ya'll say to this person from Utah??
Thanks
