FN 5.7x28

Lightweight, fast rounds, ammo is small and it’s damn deadly.

snub nose 38 isnt very much fun to shoot due to the harsh recoil. my wife hates shooting mine. i will take a g19.
 Quoting: ifSHTF


train her better..

My 116 lb, 5 foot 3 inch bride has no issues going through 100 of my reloads in a training session. and those are stiff 158 loads out of a 442.

That 38 has three times the power of the 9mm in every round.. why would you want weak?.. maybe a rubber band gun is more your thing.

Only a blinded Glock mega fanboy would think carrying a gun with no real safety in an ankle holster is a good idea. That pos weighs about 30 ounces fully loaded. Real practical.

Rounds like the .38 Special, the .45 ACP, the .45 Long Colt... when loaded +P due to the case capacity for powder, become almost entirely different rounds altogether.

The penetration and expansion on a number of the newer .38 special +p rounds is more than adequate for self defense tasks, even out of 2" barrels.

Of course we can and will ALWAYS point out a "bigger caliber" or a "better caliber".

Here's some news. There is ALWAYS a bigger bullet out there.

 Quoting: TrufSerumX


No doubt they pack a punch. The problem is capacity, ruger sp only hold 5 rounds and so small smith and wessons. The new kimber k6s offers 6 rounds at a high price. Seven round revolvers are big and hard to carry. Therefore revolvers are thing of the past when you compared with a subcompact pistol like a Glock 26 with the ability to carry from 10 round magazine up to 33 round magazines. When you see hordes of 30 plus smash and grab hoodlums you have to think that 5 rounds won’t be enough to defend yourself and family.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81368059


I am talking about EVERYDAY CONCEALED carry. Think convenience store, pumping gas, getting groceries, etc. If we get to a point I need to carry a 30 round firearm EVERYDAY... it won't be CONCEALED as It will be a long gun... and we have more serious problems.

Re: .38 Snub Nose REVOLVER - ALL you REALLY need in a EDC CCW
Paul Harrell did some snub nose test with standard pressure rounds in parts 1 and 2 of this series with fairly disappointing results, save the Hornady Critical Defense.

In this video he tests some soft left buffalo bore semi wad cutters with some actually impressive results at standard pressures.



Kinda cool to see some older round still doing some interesting things.

With that said in modern +p rated snubbies no reason NOT to carry the impressive rounds from Winchester, federal, and Hornady. Depening on preference etc.

Re: .38 Snub Nose REVOLVER - ALL you REALLY need in a EDC CCW
Depending on what I am doing...

GLOCK 34,17, or 19 on my hip, IWB or OWB, again depends on what I am doing.

GLOCK 26 on my ankle...

I can run 17 round mags and 33 round mags in ALL of them.

I stick with GEN 3s, and most of the parts are interchangeable.

I am a GLOCK Armorer and GLOCK Instructor. Been around them for almost 30 years.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81512813



I do it ALL the time using the Alien Gear Ankle Holster with one in the tube.

I don't wear bell bottoms, but I am able to easily conceal the GLOCK 26 on my right ankle and a FULL IFAK on my left ankle wearing loose fitting jeans, NOT BELL BOTTOMS, and no one EVER knows.


Hiked 2-3 miles with it on my ankle as well.

I am NOT a pussy, the 26 is my back up. I will NEVER carry anything smaller than my GLOCK 19 as a primary.

I have run numerous REAL courses with GLOCK 19s-34s.

Me running my 34. Failure drill, with one shot per instruction of instructor.

Enjoy, I RARELY post any of my training videos.

Don't like revolvers, cool, don't carry one.

Don't like GLOCKs, cool, don't own or carry one.

I tend to agree. Unless you are wearing hearing protection, I wouldn't advise to fire a 357 round as your ears will be ringing and fucked up for at least an hour.
A 38 will achieve your desired results without the brutal blast of a 357.

The latter isn't true. It takes adjustment to the revolver and double action trigger, but once you practice one can get fairly accurate out to 10 yards. Some snubbie pro's much farther.
