38 special is one of the best rounds imho.

Anyone shoot a S&W52? I shoot a 52-2 and it's awesome.

I want to shoot the 52.....

What's not to love? I don't shoot them in my .357s though, since they make guns specifically for .38s.

I have carried a S&W M37 for quite a few years. The round is not outdated.

What would you all recommend for a self-defense round in 38? Non +P....

I carry this...........because it's what my agency issues and is free......and it fits my motto when it comes to ammo "If it's free it's for me!"

Folks always believe their current choice in carry ammo is the "best". Truthfully I don't believe you can really go wrong with any of the well known manufactures version of defensive ammo.

The non +P is (obviously) the problem. Just curious, what is it that won't handle +P?

Sorry, I didn't see the "Non +P" in your initial post. For Standard Pressure you can't go wrong with Buffalo Bore.

I have a S&W that I picked up for the wife. The gun will handle +P but the wife won't...
