i’m no recoil fan at all, thus when i’m not carrying a 22lr handgun my ccw is a s&w 642 airweight loaded either with wadcutters or magtech cbc shorts. the only, small, issue that i have with wadcutters is that their flattened end makes them a bit harder to reload a revolver with a speedloader. that said, if one is a typical civilian ccw holder using common sense in non apex predator zones, five shots are statistically sufficient.
