New 638 Bodyguard

[Guest BG38357]

I just added a S&W 638-3 Bodyguard to my collection.

Any suggestions on a carry load for it?

Recoil is stout with my current Speer 135gr +P Gold Dot load.

I may change to a little bigger grip than the Bootgrip now on it.

Thanks,

King of the load is 158gr +P LHP, the FBI load.

I have a box of those around here and will try them.

Thanks!

Congrats on the Bodyguard. I have one of the earlier airweight models (38-1). They are certainly easy for pocket carry while still allowing single action shooting, but they aren't very sleek looking.

Hope you Enjoy it.

Ugly but useful!
