I note you asked for input on ammo, already having your handgun.

That being the case, I wonder why you limit our ammo choices to just two, with "other" as the third option.

When using a mag as house gun, I keep the first three chambers loaded with .38 Spl LSWCHP +P. I prefer Remington, but Winchester is okay. I hear Federal has discontinued their version of this load. These are pretty powerful, very controlable, low recoil, low flash, and quite accurate. The T M66 is a nice, medium weight revolver and with moderate practice, most can place a well aimed, accurate pair. ANY revolver in the house is loud, but this is manageable without total deafness and retinal burns.

My last three are Speer GD .357 125s. Devil take the hindmost, sez I. If things go really rodeo, above factors probably won't apply.;)

Best of luck - -
