That's because, other than the FBI load, it's probably the most street-proven .38 Special self defense load, including snub revolvers. It also performs well in gel tests, often meeting FBI penetration standards (and even when it doesn't, it's often pretty close), though I consider gel results less important than results from actual shootings. And, for most people, it's controllable even in lightweight snubs.
