2" snubby's, .38 or .357?
I carry an old .38 Bodyguard (Model 38 IIRC.) Being old, I am careful about the ammo I put in it. I don't use +Ps. Tim Sundles put together a nice .38 round that is within pressure specs but which in his estimation is superior to the typical .38 round. Tim knows what he's up to. So that's what I carry.
I have not shot .357 in a snubby. I have a friend who carries one; not sure of the model other than it's a S&W. The .38s are a handful in that Airweight Bodyguard, so I am pretty sure that I would not want to go with .357s in a similar package. I can see the sense in running .38 +Ps in a .357.
