We used to load the wadcutters backwards so the hollow base would act as a massive hollow-point.

Between the unpleasant recoil and the 5-shot capacity I'm much happier with my P365.

Thank you. Will give them a try.

Agree 100%. That’s what is with me all the time, but would like an occasional light option.

Have owned mine since they were new. Carry a 365xl now usually BUT as you mention NOTHING beats the lightweight and size of the little 342PD. Its the smallest lightest snub .38 ever made . Many good recommendations here on cleaning and loads. It hurts to shoot with stronger loads but it carries VERY well in any type of clothing and will get the job done. Ole Jerry Michulek can hit dimes at 100 yards upside down with em (wink wink). Wont ever sell mine.....
