[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1372464, member: 684"] Again, since the J frame's primary use is a "get off me" gun, I don't see the significance in +P ammo. Personally, I carry Federal Nyclads (125gr standard pressure) in mine. Up close and personal (damn near hugging distance) they will get me out of harm's way just as easily as a +P load will. I like to call the mighty Airweight J frame the "no excuses" gun. There should be absolutely no excuse why ANYBODY can't pack an Airweight Jaybird on their person at ALL times. Also, don't forget to tote at least one spare reload for the little feller. A Bianchi speed strip in the left front pocket hardly weighs anything and takes up little space. Not that I would suspect that anybody in their right mind would try to challenge an armed encounter with only a J frame and an extra 5 more rounds, but if it takes that to get you to safety (or another gun) so be it. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. ;) [/QUOTE]
