I have loaded a lot of 158 gr. wadcutters in .38 for target practice but recently had a discussion with a couple old timers (cops...) who said they always carried 158 grain wadcutters in off duty .38 Special revolvers because they are very potent as stoppers.
Really? I did some internet research and found some evidence to support this. Opinions?
My Wife is gonna end up carrying a .38 and I want her to have the best she can manage. she is small and recoil sensitive to some degree so +P hollow points are rather pushing it for her. Could the old 158 gr. wadcutter, hand loaded to something with a little heat but not *hot* be the answer for her?
Thanks in advance for any opinions or theory you can impart!
