When a wife and son were in the house is was a 3" .357 Mod 60, loaded with that .38 PlusP FBI load you mentioned. Both of them had learned to shoot handguns with that gun and were familiar with it.

Now its just me its easier just to use a .38 concealed hammer j-frame Airweight 642 for carry and home defense.



I have a confession to make, it has the infamous S&W revolver trigger lock. Never had a revolver with it before, I've started locking it when I leave it at home....

...oh God I'm so ashamed.... blush
