A 38 Special can have many ammunition options. There are jacketed, double-action hollowpoints, heavy trigger pull, expansion, penetration, and double action. Before we dive into these features, let us first look at different types of ammunition. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type? This article will address these issues. After reading this article, you'll know which type of rifle is best for you.
Double action
The Colt Snub nose revolver makes concealment easy. The lightweight gun, made of stainless steel, weighs just 26 ounces. Its 2-inch barrel makes it ideal for self-defense up close. It is easy to grip thanks to its Stainless Steel finish. It can fire +P rounds.
The LCR is a great choice for smaller hands. It weighs 13.5 ounces overall and is 6.5 inch long. Ruger LCR comes with a hogue rubber handle. The barrel is 1.87 inches long and has a ramped front sight and a U-notch rear sight. It is one the most versatile revolvers available, featuring Crimson Trace Laser grips and a Crimson Trace Laser sight.
Heavy trigger pull
The trigger pull of the.38 special, snub nose revolver was doubled. This exceeded the maximum trigger pull permitted on a spring scale. The average single-action trigger pull weighed in at four pounds. This is because of the fact that the revolvers absorb peak recoil forces instantly, so firing a cylinder full of +P Golden Sabers is not practical. It is even more annoying if the gun's purpose is rapid fire.
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, snub nose design may be the best choice for you. This type of snub revolver also has concealed hammers and a smaller frame.
Expanding
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. While the solid copper bullet doesn't expand as fast than a round one, it is reliable and might be the best backup load to the.38 Special. Before we get to the point, let's briefly examine the pros and con 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 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. The majority of modern concealed carry revolvers were rated for +P loads.
Penetration
Cast hollowpoints are not the best choice for penetration of a narrow nose. However their.308 velocity will not cause any tip deformation. However, they can be used for most purposes including general-purpose, 4in barrel 38 Special pistols. Here is the science behind why they are so popular:
The results from the tests showed that most.38 Special loads achieved consistent penetration depths within the ideal twelve to eighteen-inch range. However, most were at the lower end. The bullet expansion was also not impressive. Twelve loads failed to expand when fired with a 4-inch barrel, while five failed to expand at all. Although some loads were able to expand with a 4-inch barrel, others failed.
