 JP> I'm not a big fan of exotic bullets like the Glasser, but as a purely

   The Glasser was designed as a low penetration round for use by Federal 
Sky Marshalls. Other than that quality, it is a mediocre round at best. 
 
 JP> The fixed sights on a snub 38 are usually factory designed for 158 
 JP> grain loads, most others will not shoot to the same point. 
 
   I have never had a .38 snub that shot anywhere near point of aim, altho 
at the range I would use it at it's going to be "point and pull" rather 
than aim.  
 
 JP> You're gonna want to replace the stock wood stocks with something like 
 JP> Pachmayers. 
 
   Only if you want to hang on to it so you can fire a secnd time.  :-}
