Giving my opinion on the .38 special cartridge. I believe that it is the best cartridge for concealed carry, home defense, target shooting and for everything. Here's my follow up on 38 Spl+P Vs. 9mm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXXgOFsZeH0&t=8s

In a pinch you can brew up some black powder and reload.

I'd be interested to know what kind of load data there is for that. I think with a lead bullet it would work pretty good.

@Gun_Sam: 75% stump remover, that is mostly made of potassium nitrate. That is your oxidizer. 15% crushed charcoal. 10% Garden sulfur. That reduces the activation temperature. Ball mill for a few hours very fine in quantities of less than a quarter pound. You can find all these ingredients at the hardware store. Add some graphite dust to prevent ignition from static electricity.

You can pretty much load up the entire cylinder with black powder. Black powder works best when it is under compression, so you will need that LED bullet pushing down on the powder. You should get about 40 grains by volume.

I meant to say you need to lead bullet pushing down. I don't see an edit button but here.
