It is also important to realize that you likely miss whatever you are shooting at, especially with a snubby.

Those things are hard to shoot, no sight radius, typically tiny sights, and kick like a mule with decent ammo.

When adrenaline kicks in you will have little control of what you're doing unless you've come back from the war a cool customer under fire.

As stated earlier, they are best for letting you open range while shooting.

1. This, and some of the other comments, are true.

2. Your marksmanship skills, your gunhandling skills, your tactics and your mindset (probably in reverse order) will be far more important than the gun you pick or the ammo you pick.

3. Speer makes a 135 grain +p load specifically for short-barreled revolvers. If you can find it, it's the "gold standard" (no pun intended) for J-frame and similar size revolvers. (GHP23921)
