Back in the early 80's my buddy and I were shooting +P's out of our snubbies into a 50 gallon drum. They left nice holes in the drum and we were all happy. His dad came out with his .38 and promptly popped off a round that left a nasty gash the size of a thumb. As he walked away he mumbled "nice little holes boys, I prefer wadcutters". That really busted our chops and showed that the harder to shoot rounds may not be the best to use if you really want to stop a fight. One of life's lessons this man taught me.
