LRN or FMJ wouldn't be my first or second choice, either, but they've each killed many people and I wouldn't want to be shot with one.

As to your 60s cops example, I doubt very many of those bad guys had "4&5" solid mass hits. We can also find examples of 45 JHPs not killing quickly.

All I'm saying is that I don't buy the internet legend of the .38 LRN not being a deadly round any more than I do the same thoughts about the 9mm.

And for the record, I usually carry hollow points.
