Hi,
I commented on a similiar thread about a fellow whos wife is recoil sensitive and won't shoot +P. The wife was shooting a 4 inch revolver.
My answer was a 125 gr nyclad. All though we are commenting on a short barrel revolver, my answer is the same. Reason is recoil and ease of shooting. Shot placement is still important and shooting a short barrel revolver is hard enough even with standard pressue 38 specials. I have a old model 36 1 7/8 barrel. I have only used the nyclad round when I shoot the revolver. Too me the recoil is managable and accuracy is decent. Now in my 4 inch revolvers I use the FBI round by Remington or Buffalo Bore. But both of these rounds are too harsh for me in my all model 36.
Here is a question? Has anybody tried the Winchester 130 gr +P PDX round?. The FBI has tested this round with good results.

Regards,
Howard
