Mrs L carries a Ruger SP-101 loaded with +P .38 Spl ammunition. Anything more powerful is just wasted powder in a 2” barrel. But it will do the job. L

I shot one of those a couple months back with regular .357 rounds. Rather stout, old boy. I'd have to really dislike someone to enjoy shooting that stuff in that gun. I think I put some Winchester 145 gr. Silvertips through it. Surplus ammo from the West Virginia State Police. Ouch. But it might have been a 3" barrel. :)

We’ve put a few “full power” loads through it just for kicks, if you’ll pardon the pun. Stout indeed.

When fired inside a dark range you’d swear it’s a mini-flamethrower.

LOL.
