Thanks MHPDblue, I am not sure if it has a pinned barrell. I plan to get a speedloader, and I have already bought some Bianchi speed strips for a compact reload, as it will probably spend most of its life in my girlfriend's glovebox. I got some Winchester PD 110gr. JHPs and she loves shooting it with that load. Is it an effective defensive load? What is the velocity, as it is not listed in the Winchester ballistic chart? Thanks again.
