    No affiliation with the seller, etc,etc, just doing my bit to help.

    The only thing I can tolerate out of the AirLite J frames is wadcutters.
    I will use Gold Dot, Golden Sabre or the Winchester bonded load interchangeably, choosing whichever one shoots closest to the sights and/or groups decently in a particular gun. Next choice is a wadcutter or standard velocity semi-wadcutter, again based on POI and group size.
    The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
    disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.

    Dusted off the Labradar

    Got antsy and brought out the Labradar to get a sense of velocities.

    https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....=1#post1210603

    Cliffs notes are that my 6.5" 929 and 3.7" P365XL produce identical velocities with Speer Lawman 124 and 147gr.

    And 38 special is sad.

    And 357 magnum out of a short barrel makes fireballs. But in the Frankenightguard, even Fiocchi 142 grain 357 magnum bested the 147 grain Lawman by 100 fps with the 2.5" barrel so it doesn't suck.

    Speaking of Modern Fighting revolvers, I kind of wish I'd kept this gun around. But sadly, I got divorced (a long time ago) and really needed money.

    I’ve enjoyed shooting revolvers more than self-loading pistols since I was a teenager.

    @jetfire I really enjoyed reading that article, thank you for the link!

    I ordered the cheap barrel for experimentation and cutting. And this one for pretty factor if it seems to work out.

    There's nothing dumb about it and whoever wrote that review did so from his perspective only.
    It's a big old world out here and different people want/need different things from a firearm.

    Having real, usable, useful utility for only a small group of the shooting world doesn't = "dumb".
    If it did, all of us who like, discuss, own and shoot revolvers in 2021 would be "dumb" because we are a small subset.

    I don't own one but I really like it.

    I wrote that review, homie. If you look up from your keyboard super fast, you'll see the sarcasm going over your head
