I have a 342 which I load with Hornady 158Gr. XTP. It is a bear to shoot, but great to carry. It has CT rubber grips which contribute greatly to my ability to empty a cylinder. I use the 158s because I believe that the potential penetration is worth it from a 2" barrel. To me the laser is one more possible means to convince a perpetrator to cease and desist without shooting him.
