Bottom line is you use what you are comfortable with and what has worked for you. When it comes to handguns, I want to use a load that gives me the maximum advantage at protecting my life and my loved ones life. And .38 special just doesn't make it. My home defense load is a S&W 329 Nightguard loaded with Buffalo Bore .44 Magnum Ammo - 255 gr. Keith - Gas Check bullets.
