A 38 Special can have many ammunition options. There are double action, jacketed hollowpoints and heavy trigger pull. You can also expand your ammunition options. Let's start by looking at the different types. What are their advantages and disadvantages? These issues will be addressed in this article. After reading the article, you will know which type to choose for your rifle.
Double action
The Colt snubnose revolver is a great choice for concealment. The stainless steel gun weighs 26 ounces and is lightweight. The 2-inch barrel is great for self defense up-close. It is easy to grip thanks to its Stainless Steel finish. This gun can shoot +P rounds.
LCR is great for those with smaller hands. It measures just 13.5 ounces, and is 6.5 inches in length. Ruger LCR is equipped with a rubber grip made of hogue rubber. The barrel measures 1.87inches long, and features a Unotch rear sight and ramped front sight. It is one among the most versatile revolvers currently on the market. There are variants that include Crimson Trace's laser sight and Crimson Trace's laser grips.
Heavy trigger pull
A.38 special snub nose revolver's double-action trigger pull exceeded the maximum spring-scale trigger pull. The average single-action trigger pull was four pounds. This is due to the fact that revolvers absorb peak recoil instantly so it is impossible to fire a full cylinder of +P Golden Sabers. When the gun is used to rapid fire, it is more irritating because of its heavy trigger pull.
In a snubby revolver, a heavy trigger pull may cause difficulty while drawing the weapon. Due to your hand size, a strong trigger pull could be an issue. In such a case, a hammerless snub nose design might be the best option for you. This type snub revolver can also conceal hammers, and has a smaller frame.
Expansion
Overpenetration is a problem that plagues the.38 Special. Snub Nose Pro eliminates this problem using a solid-copper projectile that expands mechanically below 1,000 feet per minute. Although the solid copper bullet does not expand as fast as a round bullet, it is remarkably reliable, and may be the best backup load for the.38 Special. Before we dive into the topic, let us briefly discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the 38 Special.
The standard pressure 148gr full wadcutter target cartridge does not expand. However, the sharp edge is powerful enough to penetrate tissue and kill an aggressor. The bullet's 148 grain weight penetrates deep and produces little recoil making it an ideal match for the 38 Special Snub Nose Pro. The Snub Nose Pro, however, should only be used in a +P rated firearm. Modern concealed carry revolvers can be loaded with +P loads.
Penetration
There is little doubt that cast hollowpoint bullets are not a good choice for penetrating a snub nose, but their.308 velocity is insufficient to deform the tip. However, they can be used for most purposes including general-purpose, 4in barrel 38 Special pistols. Here is the science behind this choice:
The tests revealed that most.38 Special load loads penetrated consistently within the 12 to 18-inch range. Most were however on the lower side of this range. Bullet expansion was also less than impressive. Twelve loads failed to expand when fired with a 4-inch barrel, while five failed to expand at all. Some loads performed better with a four-inch barrel than others, but the results were not impressive.
