I have a LOT of handguns, and I use Blazer ammo more than any other brand for range practice. I like it--it's reliable, it's clean, and I can usually find it pretty cheap.
My primary carry gun is my S&W AirLite Ti .38 spl. If I have ever switched carry loads on a monthly basis, it has been with this gun (usually based on what I've read, opinions, etc.).
What I like about my 337 is how feathery LIGHT it is. When I took the off the stock Uncle Mike's Boot grips and switched them with Hogue Bantams (now stock on the S&W PD models), it knocked off 0.8 oz. of weight...bringing the total weight of the empty gun to 11.0 oz. Blazer ammo has aluminum casings, which are also a lot lighter than brass.
Five rounds of Blazer .38 spl ammo is approximately 0.7 oz. lighter than, say, five rounds of Hydra-Shok. I checked the "Calibers" website, and CCI Blazer .38 spl. JHP +P's match Speer, Federal, or any other +P round BALLISTICALLY, in fps and energy. I'm carrying the CCI +P round in my 337 right now--the loaded gun weighs less than 13 oz.
Opinions please?
