Erich,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and expertise in this area. It's refreshing to get some clear info instead of the usual smoke and mirrors from the gun writers. I usually carry a J Frame but I just reloaded the LCP with FMJ for those times I do pick it up. Looks like it's time to insist that the ammo makers give us real-world numbers out of real guns like Buffalo Bore does ( or chrono our own). While we are on the subject, what loads should a non-handloader be looking at for an Airweight? I tend to like the Speer GD Short Barrel, but I was wrong about the .380 Rem GS . . .
