My EDC J-frame and HD K-frame are loaded with the Buffalo Bore standard pressure 158 grain LSWCHP-GC. Independent reports I've read here and elsewhere say it chronographs at an honest 850 fps + a smidgin, from a two-inch barrel, comparable to the older Remington +P FBI load I carried for years. Other people posting here have tested the new Remington rendition and found it clocks well below that figure.

I have no qualms about shooting +P in my steel snubby or 1967 10-5, but I want the level of performance that the old Remington FBI load gave for decades.
