I should clarify that I haven't yet shot a single thing out of this snub... I haven't had it for 24 hours yet and life hasn't let me rush over to the gun range. Pesky things like work get in the way. ;-) So in terms of "having gone through" various bits of ammo, that's only in terms of Internet researching on the topic as well as talking with some local folks. I still need to actually shoot some stuff and see what works. But there's no question I'm curious about Hornady's Critical Defense offering. Trouble there is it's just such a new load that I can't find a lot of data... either field stories of it working (yours is a good testimonial, but I would like to see .38 and 9mm stuff), or just the usual sorts of ballistics tests. I shall keep searching. If anyone reading this happens to have or know where to find good data, please comment here or in my blog posting with a reference. Thanx all! Thanx for the link!
