I am thinking of getting a 342PD for pocket carry and was wondering about loads. I think several members own these guns so it would seem to be a great place to ask. My first choice, I believe, for .38spc would be a 158gr LSWCHP +P, but S&W advises no lead +P rounds, and it seems wise to heed their advise. I am concerned about penetration, and cold weather (i.e., thick clothing) performance. The thoughts I had were a 158gr +P FMJ, 158gr +P JSP, 158gr LSWCHP std. velocity, 140 or 158gr XTP-HP, or, the newest thought, one of the Hornady XTP FP-XTPs (125/158gr) at +P. Anyway, what is everybody that has one of these things using?
