My only firearm, is a Taurus 850CIA that I bought new over 10 years ago. It is pre-+P chambered in .38 Special. That means ‘standard load only’. No hollowpoints, to include ‘Buffalo Bore’, or ‘Treasury loads’. It works well with ‘wadcutters’ and ‘semiwadcutters’.
Since being deemed ‘hoiusebound/disabled’ by my ‘team doctor’ years ago, I cannot ‘bug out’ so I have this to ‘hunker down with’.
Have the same gun in .357. Great shooter, but it is a handful with 357 loads. Bites a bit. .38’s are much more comfortable.
