Thanks for all your input. After reflecting on this for some time I've decided the solution is to abandon pocket carry as a primary means of carry during summertime as much as possible. I will make...

"You win 100% of the fights you avoid". I see you are following your own advice there, good show.

OK, this is a good post. Thanks for your advice and expertise. I am not totally adverse to changing my platform. If and when I ever find a semi-auto that I like and trust for pocket carry, and I'm...

This has NOTHING to do with my original topic or any pre-existing prejudices you think I have, I was only replying to Malamute about the torture test scenario I brought up and how interesting these...

There is a YouTube vidoe where someone fires a Gen 3 Glock 17 full auto until it fails. I think it went close to 700 rounds before it failed. The plastic guide rod ended up melting, causing a...

To be fair, I've owned several other small pocket semi-autos that suffered malfunctions, the Taurus was the worst case. Not a single one of them survived a range session on the first two or three...

I do hear of cases where revolvers have failed, and failed catastrophically, but semi's can fail catastrophically too. I had a Taurus TCP (small pocket .380) that had a double feed while at the...

Reliability, and a safer, simpler platform.

The "Shield", at least to me, is NOT a pocket gun. It may be so to a really big guy but I'm not one of them. I don't see any big advantage in carrying a...

...and reliability. That fact seems to have been over looked in all these recommendations. Yeah, I know that modern semis are very reliable and blah, blah, blah, but that has not been the case in my...

So, another option I may have besides switching to a semi-auto, which I would rather not do, is to abandon pocket carry altogether and just get used to carrying one of my all steel frame revolvers...

I haven't determined what I want, that's why I'm asking for recommendations. The link I posted doesn't mean I will buy from Luckygunner, I just posted it as a reference. Thanks for the link to Ammo...

Thanks for all your replies. I've read about wadcutters and their use in J-Frames but I wasn't totally convinced that was the only answer to my problem. However, I will strongly consider carrying...

Colder weather isn't an issue as I only carry my 642 Airweight during the summer months. I carry something more robust during the rest of the year here.

Gotcha, that is something I didn't think...

Yes, I know that clear gel testing isn't the be all and end all of everything. Neither is anything else except for real world shootings. However, if a bullet consistently fails to expand in a 4-layer...

I was specifically asking about JHPs. Wadcutters DO NOT expand.

Hello, first of all I would like to thank the Administrator/Moderators for letting me join. This is my first post.

My question is what, if any .38spl standard pressure JHPs will perform reasonably...
