I heard a few pearls of wisdom on my job too. One Sergeant told me that the difference between the .38 and the .357 Mag was that the .38 was loaded with black powder. Some cops preferred the 200 grain .38 Special because the powder charge was 200 grains as opposed to the 158 grain powder charge of the standard round. The 'armor piercing' Nyclad rounds remained a secret to me; learn something new every day.
