I shoot the 150 gr PMC starfire in my .357 for a defence round. I have some 124gr Starfires for the 9mm. They have shot well for me!
I shoot the same round out of my .45 good round

Since that is strictly a concealed carry defensive handgun (and a great one for that purpose), at least take a look at the Glaser safety slug. Expensive, lethal and overpenetration is a non-issue - pretty important in urbanized areas.
my friend shot his self in the leg with a safey slug out of a 380 last year. um OUCH! :bash: it looked very bad and penetrated to the bone. i would not wanna be hit with one thats forsure. might as well be hit with a 410 shotgun
safety slugs is what i used when i conceal carried. those rounds never went with the guns when i sold them. never know when i was gonna get another in the same caliber so i kept them. kinda of one time buy type thing.

Would not hesitate for home us with those, but Like the Hornady XTP in the .45

This is a good read on the subject:Wow, thanks for the link. Lots of good info. The article says with a non-steel frame revolver I shouldn't carry a +P load... :dunno:

I went to cabelas and Wholesale sports, but all they had was Magtech ammo in stock in .38, so I left empty handed.

Great ammo.
It was like $13/50.

.45 Cor bons and Federal hollow points!You'll need a big hammer to get them in the 38sp cylinder.

I'm wondering what grain/round to go with. The gun is a S&W 442 Airweight chambered in .38 special+P. I shoot the 165 hydrashocks out of my .40 but am not sure what to go with for this gun. Thanks.To answer your original question... I have a S&W 637 Airweight .38 +P. This is what I shoot in mine. 129 grain .38 Spcl +P Federal Hydrashocks. They shoot to point of aim and hydrashocks have a pretty good reputation.

Thanks. Have you had any issues using the higher pressure +P rounds out of the Airweight like that article alludes to? Now i just gotta find somebody who has federal ammo in stock.I'm wondering what grain/round to go with. The gun is a S&W 442 Airweight chambered in .38 special+P. I shoot the 165 hydrashocks out of my .40 but am not sure what to go with for this gun. Thanks.To answer your original question... I have a S&W 637 Airweight .38 +P.
