I recently picked up a s&w 340pd as a back-up gun for work. Im planning on loading it with a 38 spl's since i went out and fired some 357 magnums this morning and decided the power wasn't worth the pain. Since this is going to be a "last resort" gun I was looking at a close range blow-you-down round. Has anyone had any experiance with the extreme shock or Glaser rounds? any info or opinion would be great.

also,
the 340pd says "don't shoot less than 120gr 357". I looked it up and it says this is due to the issue of all the powder not being burned by the time the round leaves the barrel. would this apply to the 80grn glacer safety slugs and extreme shock??

Check with them, they used the 3.5 inch barrel for testing the +p and 4.0 inch for the .38.
I'd go with Speer .38 +P 135's. They made them for short barreled revolvers.

They say 860 fps out of a 2 inch barrel. It's in the bottom section for the short barrel loads.
