Ok Mr. 16 guage. Lets assume I don't want to shoot a +p load in a non +p 38. And lets assume that I KNOW a 158grn LRN will go through a man like **** through a goose. And lets assume I suspect 158gr SJSP will do the same thing give or take an inch. Now. Assuming I am NEVER going to handload for this caliber. AND assuming I am not going to be using hollowpoints because we already have in evidence that judges and lawyers in this country are trying to push that buying a hollopoint is premeditated murder. AND assuming I work on a college campus where a pass through has the potential for hitting a dense population of about 22,000 people within a 14x14 block area. Lets also assume that if we are going to talk about the old FBI load that we also take into acocunt the fact that the FBI abandoned it because it wouldn't penetrate SOME tempered glass windshields. (Guess we better hope it aint a driveby huh?)
Under THOSE conditions how does a glaser sound to yas? (Yea it wont go through the windshield either huh?)
Yes I know there is NO guarentee that it will stop. I also know there is no gaurentee that it is going to NOT stop in a jacket etc. I also have two speed loaders full of 158gr LRN sitting beside the gun in its lock box in case the five glasser rounds don't do the trick. There also happens to be a 10 rounds box of CCI shotshells in there too. . . . . Hrm its a toolbox who woulda figured I would vary my tools. Both a screwdriver AND a wrench. What a concept.
We aren't talking about an assault of communist or terrorist sympathizers loaded with AK-97s with drumbs full of APDS ammunition wearing vests and armour. Because when we get to that point you are in alot deeper than you are going to easily get out of with a 5 shot snubnose .38
The REASON for the glasser. The ONLY reason I am buying a 6 pack of those expensive rounds is because if I have to gimp some jackarse that won't back down from a life threateneing situation (IE my life being threatened) simply by show of gun then I want SOME SMALL hope that when the bullet passes through him (assuming it does) it does not hit the approx 12 1/2 blocks of pavement and concrete we have on campus and ricochette through a window or into one of the MANY crowds we have.
Bare in mind I don't trust my life to just any tom dick and harry branded ammo either.
158gr LRN - Magtech
158gr SJSP - Magtech
109gr Shotshell - CCI/Speer
All of these I have extensively tested any they work each time every time. And each one I have multiples of in my box with the gun.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
