![]() If I'm going to run more rounds that that for drills, I like to slip in some standard pressure loads.Īlso, nowadays I save the Magnum loads for the M&P 340's for last rounds fired in the day's session, and have reduced it to only being 1 or 2 cylinder loads. Hell, even using only +P loads in my pair of M&P 340's or 642-1's can really start to hammer the distal knuckle of my trigger finger after only 100rds (snapping/rising trigger guard beating on the bottom of the knuckle). Of course, it also allowed the company's engineers to produce Magnum revolvers that exhibited recoil in a manner that exceeded the pain tolerance of many handgunners.Įven though I was an avid Magnum handgunner as a younger man, and then later demonstrated that I could run a Scandium aluminum framed PD or M&P snub fast, controllably and accurately using Magnum loads. Once S&W patented alloying very small amounts of Scandium into their forged aluminum frames, it gave another twist to things for small and lightweight wheelies that could withstand the stresses of Magnum calibers. so, it's still a timely topic for revolver aficionados. Also, with the metallurgical and manufacturing improvements comes some new diminutive snubs, along with some improvements in both propellants and JHP designs. 357MAG revolver calibers probably needs to rediscover it for themselves, though. It was a popular topic for gun magazine writers in the 80's and 90's, now and again.Įach generation that discovers the venerable. This was a question asked and settled in the 80's, by use of chrono's and some real snubnose wheelies. Sadly, modern ballistic thinking leaves out speed - velocity as the number one most important thing when referencing bullet effectiveness. ![]() All the talk of tearing and "crush zones" is pure fantasy because human body tissue instantly collapses in on itself to maintain homeostasis. They push in until the skin gives way and they "tear through" producing a simple slit after the wound has closed up behind the slug - same on the exit unless the bullet has expanded and taken out a tiny "plug" of fatty tissue as it zinged off into the distance. Regardless of bullet shape, subsonic speed bullets do NOT cut nice, neat holes in humans. 38 special load may or may not do means nothing. 357 magnum from an ultralight revolver ain't no joke! Under non-stress situations the kick is so brutal most people only pull the trigger ONCE before passing the gun along. 357 magnum power load is going to KICK and kick HARD.
