Well, there might be a chance for poor ol' me to get a CCW in the horrid liberal state of Kalifornia.
Now a Kahr is on my list of guns to carry, but for now, I think my Ruger SP-101 with a grip change, is probably going to be my primary carry weapon.
Having shot 125grn 357Mag Hollowpoints out of it, it basically felt like catching a Randy Johnson fastball... barehanded. As much as I love the 357's, I'm thinking, since I can barely touch paper with them, but can group 2" at 25' with the 38 LRN's, I thought, hmmm maybe a well placed 38 is worth more than a 357 that I miss with.
So... A lot of people have said I should look into a 38spl Semi-wadcutter as another option.
Can anybody tell me the advantages of why (aside from recoil)? I know I lose quite a bit in energy, but then again, I make it up in accuracy and shot placement as well as second shot chances..
I assume the large frontal surface area and relatively non-expanding mass will do a great job dumping energy, and thus it's good for home defense? Or is it just cool that it will cut a clean hole in drywall?
Thanks.
Albert
