Maybe it was on here, but I have heard it said that if you consider a 38 Special too weak for self defense, try getting shot with one. The 38 Special was designed around a 158 grain SWC and if you buy a new Smith and go shoot it you will find that load is right on. It may not travel as fast as a "light" 99mm bullet but it (the 38 spec.) does get there, and if it hits, stops sthe fight. If it doesn't, shoot again. The 148 grain hollowbase wadcutter reversed and ahead of 3.5 grains of Bullseye is accurate to 25 yaards and opens up about quarter sized. It is effective and I use them in a 3" barreled J-frame Smith.
