I used my issued .38 on the street three times and it always did the job. First, 158 grain lead round nose standard pressure, next 158 grain lead round nose high velocity & last 158 grain +P hollow point (FBI round). Maybe luck was on my side. In retirement my EDC is a no-lock 340PD loaded w/Remington 110 grain +P semi-jacketed hollow points.
