Have many J frames and my friend Rob Garret said try these rounds from GA. I have been reading Rob's gun articles since I am a kid 1985 Hideaway Handguns when he was a young Police Officer. All of Rob info he has done is soild GOLD to me. I have one J Frmae was worried about S&W340 PD getting crimp jump on the light weight gun. With these loads no worries and they work great alsovery good perfomnce out of small 1 7/8 BBL.
This ammo if perfect for airweight J-frame revolvers, which is why they developed it. Since I first tried it, it’s all I use in my 642 S&W.
I tested in a Smith 442, a Smith M-15 2” and a Taurus 856 Executive in 3”. Worked well and shot to the sights with mild recoil. I’d not hesitate to recommend this for carry and I will be using it in my guns!
