    Snubs, WCs and/or Underwood penetrators.

    3”-4” guns, Critical Defense 110s, only really because I have quite a bit of them and they shoot to fixed sights well enough.

    Lost River for me and mine...

    Lost River Ammo Co. 148 gr. Wadcutter. I have some of the original lead bullet loads; I just obtained some of the latest poly coated projectile load. The lead ones had a touch of smoke. I've only shot one cylinder of the poly coat, but didn't note any smoke. Plenty accurate for my use.
    I'm looking forward to trying his Short Colt load.

    Not very bright but does lack ambition
    A recent change (thanks, P-F) to Federal Gold Medal Match Target Wadcutter.

    BB wadcutters in my LCR, which also sees duty as a hiking gun.
    Speer 135gr in my j-frame, which is more of a pocket carry gun, but was thoroughly vetted with the Speer load.

    If I come across the Fed GM Wadcutters, I'm going to stock up on those and use them in both guns, but I have several boxes of the Speer load for the time being.

    FBI load for me. I’d love to move to one of the more modern jacket offerings. However, they don’t shoot the point of aim like 158s do.
