I ordered a new S&W 642 in 38 special +P rated. 1.88" barrel and 14.4 ounces in weight.
I have several bullet molds in my 35 cal stash and am curious what everyone thinks would be the best option for self defense. I will mostly carry this gun when away from the house but may carry it while out hiking too.
Option 1: Lee 358-125 RNFP

Option 2: NOE 360-172 SWC
Option 3: NOE 360-172 SWC Hollow Pointed (small, large or cup point pins)
Option 4: NOE 360-180 WFNGC
Option 5: Lee 359-200 RNFP (RCBS 35-200 copy)

Option 6: Purchase Factory Self Defense Ammo
Option 7: Get a different mold
Thanks for any input and who doesn't like the occasional poll?!?!?!?
