.38 Snub Nose REVOLVER - ALL you REALLY need in a EDC CCW

One of my favorite loads is the Corbon DPX, Black Hills also makes a similar version.

You have exceptional taste in ammo...

For the asshole glp wheel gun fans, i just spent 1k bucks on a colt defender as my primary ccw choice.

It is solid stuff. Right up there in the top in terms of Goldilocks penetration and SOLID expansion.

Grabbed a few boxes of Winchester Ranger 147 grain T Series for my 9s from a table at a gun show a while back. It may be a TAD better. May.

Not the Desert Eagle 50AE???

Just messing with you. A lot of my older SF guys are 1911/45ACP guys.

I had a nice Springfield Armory TRP that I tricked out internally. The trigger was AMAZING, but as hard as I tried to love the gun, the more I knew it was not for me.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I saw this a few years back. Still makes me laugh.

It is an oldie, but it gives me a chuckle every time.

Die thread, die!!!

If you have had any training on tactical pistol shooting you'd know that the revolver is inferior by design.

With a semi auto, the action resets the trigger.

With a revolver, the trigger is the action.

Wtf does that mean?

When a round goes off in a semi auto, the slide cycles and resets the trigger.

For a revolver, when a round goes off, nothing happens. The trigger will stay at the rear until you release it, then you squeeze the trigger which actions the cylinder to rotate a new round in place.

In tactical rapid fire, you do not release trigger. You let it forcefully reset your finger so that as soon as the muzzle is back down on target, a very slight squeeze fires another round.

This makes far less finger flexing motion which leads to more accurate (and faster) follow up shots.

That matters, even at close range, because everyone is in motion and not stationary like a paper target.

Snub nose revolvers are for muggers and ambush killers who don't want to leave shell casings behind.

My thought is a SP101 is a perfect bedside choice, However load it with .38 and not .357 as you could loose your hearing without hearing protection in a bedroom with a .357...

I love the SP101 but may be a bit heavy for CC long term but I like a heavy .357 snub, some will not.

From personal experience, I prefer a simple revolver with-in reach when something goes bump in the night.

I found out waking suddenly in a pitch black dark bedroom is not the same as a well lit gun range...

When I am asleep in a dark room the more simple the better.
SP101, no safety, no clip, no jams, no wondering if one is in the chamber... pull trigger and it will fire 100%!

Now, if I go to the range I prefer something else, 9mm etc ...For CC? Perhaps something not as heavy as a SP101? 380? .38?

Right on

I miss my Ruger Service Six .357

The wildfire burned it up.

I just run a g26 with a Pearce pinky extension baseplate pocket carry or appendix, mostly appendix.

Holds 10+1 and I usually run two more 15 round g19 mags in a pocket all of which are loaded with liberty civil defense ammo so the mags are all but weightless...

Gives me 41 rounds to get to a real gun.

Currently g26 is set up with tritium 3 dot sights and the slide is RMR cut just in case o want to throw an optic on.

All told I'm into the gun and mags about $500 which isn't bad at all.

You mean other than the Muslim army officer who managed to pretty much one shot one kill double digits worth of people in a terrorist rampage at fort hood right?

Also, lol at couldn't penetrate Winter clothing...

You're a special kind of stupid aren't you?

Only an idiot would think 5.7 is bad because of a lack of penetration considering that the entire purpose of the development project was to develop a NATO standard pistol and SMG cartridge explicitly for PENETRATING RUSSIAN BODY ARMOR which at the time was 20 layers of kevlar 1.5mm of titanium and MORE KEVLAR!

But yeah... Winter clothing totally stops 5.7 LMFAO

The 5.7 has plenty of issues, that's not one of them though.

Also considering the prices of decent defensive ammo in ANY CALIBER right now, the about $2 a shot you pay for some seriously deadly 5.7 ammo is pretty much middle of the pack even compared to 9x19 and 45 acp defensive ammo.

What an idiot; he has the magazine inserted backwards.

I like my Hk Vp9. Just my preference, it’s comfy, not too big, I shoot it well.

Smith & Wesson makes an EZ in 9mm and .380 that is great for women, seniors, and anyone with limited hand strength.
