For a 38 Special, you have many options when it comes to ammunition. 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 the advantages and disadvantages of each type? These issues will be addressed in this article. After reading the article, you will know which type to choose for your rifle.
Only double action
The Colt revolver with snub nose is a popular choice for concealment. This lightweight gun is made from stainless steel and only 26 ounces in weight. The 2-inch barrel is perfect for up-close self-defense. Its Stainless Steel finish and rubber hogue overmolded grips make it easy to handle. The gun is rated to shoot +P rounds.
For those with smaller hands, the LCR can be a great choice. It is just 13.5 ounces in weight and measures 6.5 inches overall. Ruger LCR comes with a hogue rubber handle. The barrel measures 1.87inches long, and features a Unotch rear sight and ramped front sight. 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. 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. When the gun is used to rapid fire, it is more irritating because of its heavy trigger pull.
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. In such a case, a hammerless snub nose design might be the best option for you. This type of snub revolver also has concealed hammers and 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. 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.
Standard pressure 148 grain full wadcutter Target Round does not expand. The sharp edge can penetrate tissue and kill attackers. It is a great match for the 38 Special's Snub Nose Pro, as it penetrates deep and produces very low recoil. However, the Snub Nose Pro should be used only in a firearm with a +P rating. That means most modern concealed carry revolvers are 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. 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 tests showed that most.38 Special Loads achieved consistent penetration depths in the ideal 12- to 18-inch range. Most were however on the lower side of this range. Bullet expansion was also very poor. 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.

How To
How to hunt wild Ducks
The most common way to hunt wild ducks is to use decoys. You can use decoy birds that are live and place them at a distance from the blind to allow you to see them clearly from far away. Windy conditions are a bad time to hunt as the birds can quickly disappear. Also, if there are several hunters around, they might scare off some of the birds.
When hunting wild ducks, make sure you know how many birds you want to shoot. If you don't know what kind of bird you're shooting, then you shouldn't shoot. Be sure to have enough ammunition for as many birds and as many shots as you need.
If you endanger many birds, you will need to clean and prepare your meat before you can eat it. It is best not to wait until the meat is done cooking. Once the meat is cooked, remove any bones and feathers.
Wild ducks are often found near water, but sometimes they can be seen flying through fields, woods, and swamps. Their flight patterns are more open than others, and they can be easily spotted from the ground. Keep your distance from wild duck hunters until you are close enough to take a shot. It means that you should remain quiet while waiting to get a shot.
