125 grain Remington SJHP 357 Magnums in my Model 65.

Either Buffalo Bore or Remington 158 grain 38 Special +P in my Model 637.

Hornady 180 grain XTP 44 Specials in my Model 29.

124 grain Speer Gold Dot 9x19 in my M&P and 915. I will soon be swapping that for Federal 147 grain HST.

The old FBI load 158gr LSWCHP in a J frame carried for years. And it still works as well as ever. What changed is me. Arthritis, older eyes. The ability to make followup shots sure is easier with Gold Dots, DPX, Golden Sabers all have proven street records and the ability to make accurate follow up shots means alot.
