Looks like the +P 125's did just fine out of a snub.
Thanks for the post. Good video. I try to use this round only in barrels of not less than three inches, but this is good to know.

My son lives in another city, where he can sometimes get the 135 grain load, and I had him get me some. I use it in short barrels. A Speer spokesman told me that the 135 Short Barrel ammo is issue for all barrel length .38's still grandfathered in in both NYPD and LAPD, and has delivered excellent results in real shootings. I do not have real feedback on the 125 grainer, but respect it. I use it in four-inch and longer barrels. I haven't shot anything alive with it, but it groups well.
