Decided on a S&W 442 for a carry gun and found a nice used one for $465. It even has had trigger work on it and stages nicely. But it's on the older side so it isn't +P rated. I always figured +P would be a nice option to practice with regular pressure and carry with +P. But I did some research on .38 ballistics and found that some regular pressure .38 ammo penetrates to a good depth and expands nicely, such as Federal JHP Hydra-Shok and Speer JHP Gold Dot.
So should I go for it or are there enough advantages to holding out for a +P rated one to let it go?
