Proper ammo.
Question
I've just purchased a used Taurus Mod #85 38 Cal. revolver. It will be used for personal protection only. I've been told to use 38 SPL.+P 125 Gr. JHP hollow point for this gun. I'm familiar w/guns in general. Are my choices OK? Thanks. Ed.
Answer
Yes, that ammo sounds OK. The Taurus model 85 is rated for .38SPL +P, but since it is used, make sure that the gun is in good condition. If you are not familiar enough to determine its condition, a gun smith can take a quick look at it for you.
Hope this helps!
