Most people that carry 38 special have tiny revolvers like J frames or an LCR. I have a big revolver but I shoot 357magnums with it and it's more of a range gun since it's big and heavy.

Cool beans!!! I just picked up a 3 inch 605 and some 120 grain punch’s.. seems I made a good choice lol

It works good out of 2inch charter arms 38.

What i settled on was a federal punch loaded in a 357 mag case with 6.2gr of titegroup...probably putting it in the 38spl +p+ range(hence the 357 case, so I dont run in an airweight lol). That load gets 1050fps from a 2" and 1100fps in a 4". Honestly perfect expansion. Out of an sp101, it feels good.

I carry that in my M&P Bodyguard. Have it in my 856 Ultra Lite too.

According to the FBI protocols, you are to be 10 feet away from the gel when you fire. Why are you so close? Being that close changes the result of the test.

The point is the 2inch like the 640 centennial is going to be used as a defensive weapon.

Thank you for a very useful test!.........................elsullo

Back in the early 80's the 357 load I caried was the Winchester 125 gr. Silver Tip. Anymore, when I carry 357 it's usually in the wild. I load up my Marlin 1894c and My 6" Taurus 689 with 158gr. rfn over a charge of Lil'gun. Porky Pig says "Th-Th-Th-That's all folks." In town I'm a fan of my 40 S&W.

Federal punch is all I use anymore.

I’m sold on Punch. Like it in my Taurus 9’s. Have a S&W 4” should be good but will keep an open mind to the Train & Protect. Thx for doing the test!!

I would love to have seen what the 158 load does out of a snubby, since my current load out is an LCR with Hornady CDs.

As an owner of 2 snubbies and a 4.25 inch i can't wait to be able to purchased a 3" for carry.just bought a holster for my 4.25 but haven't carried yet due to it having adjustable sights.the 3" model I want has the gutter sights which I prefer so I know I wouldn't damage the sights.also I'm a federal ammo guy.heard great things about the 38s punch.i only have 1 box of 38s punch 129 grain which I haven't been able to find.only seen the 120g.thank you for this upload.

No worries! So my opinion shift on Taurus started when they hired their current CEO, who used to work at Walther. It continued when they hired me to consult a project, and I was able to see how the sausage was made and their commitment to making quality products. I bought in so hard that I got a job there

The 120 grain Punch is my home defense load, thanks for the video, I feel I made a good choice.

Have you tested the FP against Hornady critical defense.38+p 110 gr?

Everyone go watch the Lady K Sailing channel and tell me if that guy doesn’t sound EXACTLY like Caleb, but he’s talking about boats. Same cadences, same intonation, etc.

I shot a big hog (200lbs) a few weeks ago while looking for a lost calf with the 38 special punch. Scared the crap out of me but did a great job! I would not want to do it again for sure! It really surprised me how well the punch performed.

You mean “moot” 🤣

A documentary about depth of bullet penetration, but no measurement of penetration--just guesstimating. Odd approach to research.

Average Male Chest Depth Finally, the average man has a chest depth of 10.0 inches (25.4 cm) from front to back. And the standard range is from 9.0 inches (22.8 cm) to 11.0 inches (28.0 cm). What internal organs are not within the 10-inch zone? NONE.

Humans and ballistics gel are not a 1:1 medium. A bullet that penetrates only 10 inches in gel is likely to under penetrate in a human being, especially if presented with a shot more complex than an unobstructed frontal chest shot

@@pinkhead6857890 lol, I guarantee that on any given day I could outshoot you just using my weak hand. 357 Mag out of a small frame revolver doesn’t provide a significant ballistic advantage over 38 Special, certainly not enough to be worth the penalty in recoil and shootability. I get it, you’re like 15 and you’re terminally online, but since you’ve never fired a round for blood or money you don’t really have capacity for this conversation.
