For a 38 Special, you have many options when it comes to ammunition. There are jacketed hollowpoints, double action, heavy trigger pull, expansion, and penetration. Before we dive into these features, let us first look at different types of ammunition. What are the benefits and drawbacks of each type? These questions will be addressed in the following article. The article will let you know which type to get for your rifle.
Double action
The Colt snub nose revolver is a classic choice for concealment. The stainless steel gun weighs 26 ounces and is lightweight. The 2-inch barrel allows for self-defense at close range. The gun's Stainless Steel coating and rubber hogue-overmolded handles make it easy in use. The gun is rated to shoot +P rounds.
For those with smaller hands, the LCR can be a great choice. It measures just 13.5 ounces, and is 6.5 inches in length. The Ruger LCR features a hogue rubber grip. The barrel measures 1.87 inches and features a U notch rear sight and a ramped sight. This revolver is versatile and comes in variants with Crimson Trace laser sights and Crimson Trace grips.
Heavy trigger pull
The double action trigger pull of a.38 special snub nose revolver exceeded the maximum allowable trigger pull on a spring-scale. The average single-action trigger pull weighed in at four pounds. The reason is that revolvers instantly absorb peak recoil forces, so firing a whole cylinder of +P Golden Sabers is difficult. If the gun is being used for rapid fire, the heavy trigger pull can be more annoying.
In a snubby revolver, a heavy trigger pull may cause difficulty while drawing the weapon. A heavy trigger pull may be an issue with your particular hand size. A hammerless, snub nose design may be the best choice for you. This type is also available with concealed hammers as well as 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. The solid copper bullet expands slower than a round bullet but it is extremely reliable and could be used as a backup load for. But before we get into this topic, let's briefly review some of the pros and cons of the 38 Special.
The standard pressure 148-grain full wadcutter target bullet does not expand and its sharp edge is strong enough to penetrate the tissue and kill an attacker. The bullet, 148gr, penetrates deeply and produces low recoil. This makes it an excellent match to the 38 Special Snub Nose Pro. 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 aren't a good choice for piercing a snub nose. However, their.308 velocity is not sufficient to deform the tip. They are a great choice for many 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. Most were however on the lower side of this range. It was also disappointing to see the bullet expand. Twelve loads did not expand when fired from a 4-inch barrel. Five other loads were not able to expand at all. The extra velocity of a four inch barrel helped some loads expand, but they were still unimpressive.

What makes hunting such a rewarding hobby?
Hunting is a game of chess. You must think ahead, plan your moves, and anticipate where you will be playing next.
The goal of hunting is to find food, which means you must know what kind of animal you're looking for, how to track your prey, and when to stop tracking. If you don’t know these things you won’t be able to catch anything.
When hunting, the most important thing is to never lose your eyes. This will ensure that you don't miss any opportunities. You should always get close enough to be able to identify the item you see. Keep a record of what you see and take notes. If you decide to hunt again, this will be helpful.
It's about more than shooting at targets. It's about being in harmony with yourself, the environment, and animals around you.

How To
How to hunt wild Ducks
Decoys are the most popular way to hunt wild ducks. Decoys can be used to hunt wild ducks. You should place the birds at a distance from your blind in order to view them from far away. You should avoid hunting during windy conditions when the birds tend to go out of sight quickly. You should also avoid hunting with other hunters as they may scare some birds.
When hunting wild ducks, make sure you know how many birds you want to shoot. It is best to know which kind of bird you are hunting before you shoot. Be sure to have enough ammunition for as many birds and as many shots as you need.
If you do end with killing many birds you will want to clean the meat and prepare it before you eat. It's best to cook the meat right away because it dries out very fast once you start cooking it. Once the meat has been cooked properly, remove any feathers and bones.
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. If you're hunting wild ducks, it is important to remain hidden until you are close enough that you can make a shot. You should be quiet and patient while you wait for the chance to shoot.
