A 38 Special has many ammunition options. There are jacketed, double-action hollowpoints, heavy trigger pull, expansion, penetration, and double action. Let's start by looking at the different types. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type? These questions will be addressed in the following article. You will be able to decide which type for your rifle after reading this article.
Double action
The Colt snubnose revolver is a great choice for concealment. This lightweight gun is made from stainless steel and only 26 ounces in weight. The 2-inch barrel allows for self-defense at close range. Its Stainless Steel finish and rubber hogue overmolded grips make it easy to handle. It can fire +P rounds.
LCR is great for those with smaller hands. It weighs just 13.5 ounces and is 6.5 inches long overall. The Ruger LCR features a hogue rubber grip. The barrel is 1.87 inches long and has a ramped front sight and a U-notch rear 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.
Trigger pull heavy
A.38 Special snub nose revolver pulled a double trigger pull that exceeded the maximum trigger pull of a spring-scale. However, the single action trigger pull averaged 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. For rapid fire, the trigger pull is much more bothersome.
A heavy trigger pull can cause problems when drawing a snubby revolver. Due to your hand size, a strong trigger pull could be an issue. A hammerless snubnose design might be the best solution in such cases. This type snub revolver can also conceal hammers, and has a smaller frame.
Expansion
Overpenetration is a common problem in the.38 Special. The Snub Nose Pro solves this problem by using a solid copper projectile that has a mechanical expansion of less than 1,000 feet per second. Although it doesn't expand nearly as fast as a regular round bullet, the solid copper bullet is reliable and may be the best backup load. But before we get into this topic, let's briefly review some of the pros and cons 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. However, the Snub Nose Pro should be used only in a firearm with a +P rating. Most modern concealed carry revolvers are capable of carrying +P loads.
Penetration
Cast hollowpoint bullets aren't a good choice for piercing a snub nose. However, their.308 velocity is not sufficient to deform the tip. They are still a good choice for most purposes, including general purpose, 4-inch-barrel 38 Special pistols. Here's the science behind their choice:
The tests revealed that most.38 Special load loads penetrated consistently within the 12 to 18-inch range. The majority of the penetration depths were however at the lower end. Also, bullet expansion was not very impressive. Twelve loads failed when fired with 4-inch barrels, and five did not expand at all. The extra velocity of a four inch barrel helped some loads expand, but they were still unimpressive.
