There are many options available for ammunition for the 38 Special. There are jacketed Hollowpoints, double-action, heavy trigger pulls, expansion and penetration. Let's first examine the various types of ammunition. What are their advantages and disadvantages? These issues will be addressed in this article. The article will let you know which type to get for your rifle.
Double action
The Colt revolver with snub nose is a popular choice for concealment. The lightweight gun, made of stainless steel, weighs just 26 ounces. This 2-inch barrel is ideal for close-up self-defense. Its Stainless Steel exterior and rubber hogue grips with rubber hogue overmolded grips makes it easy to hold. The gun can shoot +P round.
For those with smaller hands, the LCR can be a great choice. 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 1.87 inches and features a U notch rear sight and a ramped sight. It is one the most versatile revolvers available, featuring Crimson Trace Laser grips and a Crimson Trace Laser sight.
Heavy trigger pull
A.38 special snub nose revolver's double-action trigger pull exceeded the maximum spring-scale trigger pull. However, the single action trigger pull averaged four pounds. The reason is that revolvers instantly absorb peak recoil forces, so firing a whole cylinder of +P Golden Sabers is difficult. When the gun is used to rapid fire, it is more irritating because of its heavy trigger pull.
If you have a snubby revolver, it is possible for you to have difficulty drawing the weapon if your trigger pull is too strong. You may have a problem with your trigger pull due to your hand size. If this is the case, a hammerless design with a snub nasal might be the best for you. This type has concealed hammers and smaller frames.
Expansion
Overpenetration is an issue with the.38 Special. Snub Nose Pro combats this problem by using solid copper projectiles with mechanical expansion below 1,000 ft/second. The solid copper bullet expands slower than a round bullet but it is extremely reliable and could be used as a backup load for. Before we dive into the topic, let us briefly discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the 38 Special.
The standard pressure 148g full wadcutter bullet target round is not expandable. Its sharp edge can penetrate tissue to kill an attacker. The bullet is 148 grains in weight and has very little recoil. It makes it an excellent match for a 38 Special Snub Nose Pro. The Snub Nose Pro is only intended to be used with +P-rated firearms. Most modern concealed carry revolvers are capable of carrying +P loads.
Penetration
Cast hollowpoint bullets, while not ideal for penetration of a snub nostril, are not recommended. Their.308 velocity is too low to cause tip deformation. They can still be used for general purposes and are excellent for 38 Special pistols with a 4-inch barrel. This is how science explains this choice.
The tests showed that most.38 Special Loads achieved consistent penetration depths in the ideal 12- to 18-inch range. The majority of the penetration depths were however at the lower end. Bullet expansion was also less than impressive. 12 loads failed to expand when fired using a 4-inch barrel. Five of the five failed to expand at ALL. A four-inch barrel increased the velocity of some loads, but it did not improve the performance of the less successful loads.
