looking for short barrel ammo for my snubbie....

[skipbo32]

i have a S&W airweight and am looking for the Speer Gold Dot .38+p short barreled ammo. it seems to be sold out in the boxes, but i see it for sale in bulk. the "short barrel" .38+p ammo is in 135gr.......so i am assuming this is the same ammo?:

any advise on this?

It's the same. Those rounds on GB appear to be the 135 grain + P short barreled gold dots which are packaged in boxes of 50 marked "law enforcement". They are the exact same round as the 20 count boxes but there's more of them, they are cheaper, and you have neat LE marked boxes.

If you reload...

Those bullets seem in short supply as well.

This is when it's time to consider reloading. I too am a Gold Dot fan and love the fact that I load it cheap enough and in large enough quantity to shoot what I carry.
Without even bothering to shop around for the best price on powder, primers, bullets, I can load 100 rounds of Gold Dots for around $25-$30. And if I use XTP's, which are just as good, I can load 100 rounds for $22. And these loads are full house magnum H110/296 loads.

What I use in my model 36 is Buffalo Bore 158 grain LSWCHP. I also is designed for short barrel revolvers and is low flash. I chose it as I want to be able to see if there is a second threat and not be night blinded. It is available directly from Buffalo Bore.
