my buddy offered up a Rock Island .38 special when i was at his house this evening, just happened to have the cash because i sold a Rossi .243 not 4 hours earlier. ive shot the revolver before, early this year, but it hasnt had a round through it since it was reworked by Rock Island. as he said, Phillipene gun loaded with American parts. apparently it suffered a catastrophic failure last time he shot it. (inner workings, no barrel or cylinder damage). any recommendations on ammo? before I go on a shopping spree. just want some ball ammo to plink with, and figure ill stock up on a few boxs of SD ammo, just to have. this wont be an EDC, unless maybe i take it on a hike or hunting trip.
