Right now my carry handgun is a S&W 637, 38 Special +P, 2 inch barrel. I'm currently loaded with 158 grain Winchester FMJ. I also reload for all my handguns, rifles, and shotguns. I don't have a 9MM, but have thought about one for a different carry handgun.

A fellow firearms instructor carries a 40 Caliber and feels a 9MM is too light for stopping power in any bullet weight or design. I wanted another opinion.

Sometime ago I saw where Federal was making a round that looked impressive with a bullet called hydrashock. I liked the bullet design. Do they still make it and what's your opinion of it?
