A 38 Special has 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 questions will be addressed in the following article. This article will help you decide which type of rifle to buy.
Double action
The Colt snub nose revolver is a classic choice for concealment. The lightweight gun is made of stainless steel and weighs just 26 ounces. 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. This gun can shoot +P rounds.
For those with smaller hands, the LCR can be a great choice. It weighs only 13.5 ounces and measures 6.5 inches. Ruger LCR has a hogue rubber grip. The barrel measures 1.87 inches in length and features a U-notch back sight and a ramped front view. This revolver is versatile and comes in variants with Crimson Trace laser sights and Crimson Trace grips.
Heavy trigger pull
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. The reason is that revolvers instantly absorb peak recoil forces, so firing a whole cylinder of +P Golden Sabers is difficult. The heavy trigger pull is more of a nuisance if the gun is used for rapid fire.
A heavy trigger pull can cause problems when drawing a snubby revolver. A heavy trigger pull may be an issue with your particular hand size. A hammerless nose design could be the best alternative. 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 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 148 grain bullet penetrates deeply and produces very little recoil, making it an excellent match for the Snub Nose Pro in a 38 Special. The Snub Nose Pro can only be used with firearms rated for +P loads. The majority of modern concealed carry revolvers were rated for +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 are still a good choice for most purposes, including general purpose, 4-inch-barrel 38 Special pistols. Here's how the science supports this choice.
The tests proved that most.38 Special loads penetrated within the recommended twelve- to eighteen inch range. Most, however, were on the lower end of this range. Bullet expansion was also very poor. 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.
