When I carry a 3" 357 most of the time its loaded with 7 shots of Underwood 158LSWCHP's at 1100fps. It's a potent load and being soft lead I have no doubt it would have tremendous terminal effects on whomever was on the receiving end. I don't feel undergunned carrying that setup. In my 2"...

Missouri Bullet co makes some gray colored coated bullets. I load their 240SWC's in my 44 special. My favorite 38 bullets are Acme 158SWC's and their 148WC's. They're great bullets and their coating holds up extremely well.
