I bought a titanium .38 for my wife. This gun is strictly for self defense.
She likes to walk in our neighborhood during the day while I'm at work. We have lived here for 14 years a small town in central Delaware. Far from what you would call a high crime area "BUT" in the last few years things have just changed for the worse.My wife is 5' 6" 110lbs and she is pretty. lately that is becoming a problem. not to long ago as she was coming up to our home a car pulled up next to her and a man hopped out and started to try and ask for directions. he started saying come with me show me ill bring you back. she turned and ran in the house. He gave a small chase than realized she lived there. The door was unlocked so she did not have to fumble with keys. Otherwise it could have been bad. on countless occasions cars pull over while she is walking with the typical hey baby how you doooen.. A week ago as she was walking and man on the other side of the street spotted her and started yelling to her hey baby you look good, come over here she ignored him but he actual started a full run towards her across the street she yelled im calling the cops and started to run with the phone to her head. at that point he turned and "RAN" in the opposite direction.The same week some guy pulled over and tried to get her to get in his car..
So back to the gun. She knows how to handle a gun she has several of her own but none are concealable or this light.
we are also in an area with a lot of kids. So my question is will a subsonic round in a .38 with the rite bullet work well without having to worry about the bullet going through a target and hurting some one. suggestions on loads and bullets would be helpful
