For a 38 Special, you have many options when it comes to ammunition. There are jacketed hollowpoints as well as double action, heavy trigger pull and expansion. Let's start by looking at the different types. What are the pros and cons of each type? These are the issues that this article will address. You will be able to decide which type for your rifle after reading this article.
Double action only
The Colt Snub nose revolver makes concealment easy. The light gun, which weighs only 26 ounces, is made of stainless-steel. 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. The gun can hold +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 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. This revolver is one of most versatile on the market. It comes with Crimson Trace laser grips as well as a Crimson Trace 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 single action trigger pull averaged 4 pounds. The reason is that revolvers instantly absorb peak recoil forces, so firing a whole cylinder of +P Golden Sabers is difficult. It is even more annoying if the gun's purpose is rapid fire.
If you have a snubby revolver, it is possible for you to have difficulty drawing the weapon if your trigger pull is too strong. 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.
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. Before we go into detail, let's review the pros and cons associated with 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. It is a great match for the 38 Special's Snub Nose Pro, as it penetrates deep and produces very low recoil. The Snub Nose Pro can only be used with firearms rated for +P loads. Modern concealed carry revolvers can be loaded with +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'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. It was also disappointing to see the bullet expand. 12 loads failed to expand when fired using a 4-inch barrel. Five of the five failed to expand at ALL. The extra velocity of a four inch barrel helped some loads expand, but they were still unimpressive.
