The FHP isn’t what it once was.
I can send the FHP to places where they have my permission to shoot a lot of lowlifes. Do lowlifes count as people lol?Jerry, the problem with the FHP is they just don't get the chance to shoot near enough people. --- SAWMAN
There were people that use to drive real hot loads out of the N-frame .357's that with expanding bullets were putting them down beyond what is usually associated with pistols or at least that is what people were saying.Yeah but . . . just one 147gr out of my Glock 31 (357Sig) and . . . ka-blewieeeeeeeee . . . they explode. --- SAWMAN
One big difference between a k frame .38 and a full size automatic pistol is felt recoil. I have found it easier to fire 3-400 rounds of .45ACP in a 1911 than in a K frame .38 spl. A polymer 9mm glock is even easier on me than is a .38 spl.
9mm being a .38 spl.
You need to go +P in a .38 to get near what standard 9mm loads will do and I normally shoot +P+ 9mm in my glocks.
The big thing is with typical automatic pistols loads whether .45 or 9mm is you still have to be ready to shoot them multiple times to quickly put the goblins down with typical torso hits. One hit in the torso from a .45 ACP does not automatically mean instant devastation even if many people think that it does.
