Boy was I asleep at the switch on this one! It's gone and I never noticed! I learned about its demise very recently on this forum. Have a couple boxes gathering dust and it was never at the top of my list as a favorite, but whenever an important round like this is pulled from the market by its manufacturer, I become nostalgic and remember its good points, and want some more. This is- was- the most accurate defense round I've ever used in a Model 19 snub.

Anyone have any theories on what did it in? It was given its birth by the FBI for its penetration qualities and when that agency dropped the 38 completely, I guess there was no civilian market to support it. It had more than acceptable ballistics but it really shined in the accuracy department. Didn't realize it was such an endangered species.

Anyone else feel this pain, for this or any other now-gone round?
