Usually I drop Glazers in my gun for home and motel room defense to prevent overpenetration, but outside in public, what do any of you think is the best ammuntion brand, point, and pressure to use? I carry a 4" revolver to get the full blast of the cartridge and can handle rounds better with the larger frame. Currently in my gun I carry Winchester Silvertip Hollowpoints in .38+P with two speedloaders in the pouch and occasionally I carry an extra two speedloaders with Corbon .38+P if I need a little extra velocity. Before that I carried regular .38 Special Federal Hydrashoks. When I first started carrying I carried UMC Lead Round Nose or Full Metal Jacket Flat Point.
What do y'all think?
Is velocity what I want? Is Energy? Is less recoil? Winchester, Corbon, PMC, Blazer, Remington, American Eagle, Goldensaber? What tip? Lead Round Nose (most agree that this is not the best but police used this for 100 years), Jacketed Hollowpoint, Silvertips, Full Metal Jacket, Full Metal Hollowpoint, Hydrashok, etc. What's the best? There is so much to choose from.
