158 grain JHP Federal Hydra Shok’s are great and I use them in my S&W Model 27.
Here are some great .357 Magnum JHP rounds that are great CCW loads:
Corbon 110 & 125 grain
Winchester Silver Tip 145 grain
Remington Golden Saber 125 grain
Federal Defense Hydra Shok 125 grain
Speer Gold Dot 135 grain for short barrel revolvers
Also consider 38 Special +P JHP rounds:
Hornady Critical Defense 110 grain FTX
Corbon 110 grain
Federal Defense 129 grain Hydra Shok
All of these rounds have excellent ballitics and stopping power. If you are thinking about bystanders the 38 +P’s are a good choice. I carry the Corbon 110 grain 38 +P and .357 Magnum in my Ruger SP101.
yep, 158 gr. Hydra-Shoks. 4 inch S&W 686.
No such thing as Over kill.
