Speer Lawman 200 grain .44 magnum hollowpoints. Came in a yellow plastic flip top box of twenty rounds. I am looking at a box right now. Been meaning to give them a try in my S&W329pd.

I like a 148 gr. hollow base wadcutter. It is a devestating round when loaded with a propper powder load. I load all my ammo and wad cutters are great for EDC in a short barrel revolver.

It was for me. I went 1911 never looked bak.

Secret service knows the greatness of it .

Great commentary. As my dad told me once, "The glove does not make the ball player." That being said, any advantage in a gun fight is worth having.

One thing that annoys me about these conversations is it's always "ball and cap" yet British bull dog is a double action 44 webley that's black powder and not a bad option in my opinion if you can't get a modern handgun for whatever reason.

Stage coaches...for coast to coast travel? 😂

You got a new subscriber! I couldn’t agree more! People have bought into the marketing scheme of these ammo manufacturers with these new and “improved” bullet types, but completely disregard the wadcutter. In my opinion it’s the best round you can carry, especially out of a short barrel j-frame style revolver.?

I carry a 44 snubbey i use the 180gr sjhp it penitra about the same as 230gr 45 hp in water jugs. But does expand a bit more.

I have a 629-6 with a 4inch she is mean i use it for home defense 180 gr and Bear defense 305 gr and mono copper round 256 gr

I think it all comes down to profits, companies like selling $1.40 a round , copper bonded, HP , blitz , zombie home defense. vs. a .40 cent a round FMJ / wadcutter or whatever.

I see 5.7 as the perfect defensive round for females and old folks.the lethality plus soft recoil is a win-win

Just got 2 boxes of lswhp 44 spc today.

I have been carrying a S&W model 29 for 22 years. I prefer for CCW my 4 inch barrel. I do have a model 29, 6 1/2 inch barrel as well will carry it in the colder weather sometimes when more heavily dressed. For target shooting, I do use the 44 special 220 grain. Once in a while, I will get a 44 mag rem. 240 grain. For CCW, I use the Hornaday Critical Defense hollow tips. I have taken tactical classes and am able to move around with my model 29 and get off shots quickly. This weapon was made for me, would not consider anything else. Been shooting model 29's since my teen years carrying them for 22 years CCW. I do not recommend this weapon for most people.

I regret not buying a M1 Carbine 5-10 years ago, but I recently bought a WW2 Postal Meter Carbine for about $1400 out the door. It saw time in South Korea based on what I could tell with the import marking and it definitely runs great. The real drawback on them today is the price of ammo and the weapon itself. Mine is currently in it's original configuration, but I am about to swap the stock for a polymer folding one and I am going to replace the handguard with a pick rail for a red dot. The best part is that I can always return it to it's original configuration if needed or wanted.

Wadcutters? Really? I’d suggest anyone thinking of wadcutters for self defense, that is killing your attacker not only think twice but also do some ballistic tests. I can hardly believe this subject is remotely taken seriously. My concealed carry is a compact 45ACP, my reloads of +P 240gr HP. Fast burning Red Dot powder for max muzzle velocity. No comparison to medium wadcutter (SWC) loads. Experience over and over proves you’ll have one kill shot, and it had better count. Debate over.

The quickest reload ? 2 guns

Interesting. I own several 44 revolvers (e.g., SW 29) and pistols (DE). My view is that I want to shoot these as hot and powerful as possible. If not, I can shoot a 45LC. For example, I reload 30g of Winchester 296 with 180g bullet. This represents to my knowledge the most powerful load for the 44 Mag. Why shoot lighter loads? Takes the fun out of it in my opinion.

Thanks, I really needed that. I'm 78 and I will get a hand gun, but I need to know what kind. Maybe a nine m. I used to hunt with my friends. Thanks

Anybody who tries to make their point by telling the opposing party they are an idiot... is an idiot. I am not a fan of open carry but I certainly don’t judge those who do.

Three Fudds.

I think this is a stupid argument. It's like saying cops should never be seen. All of them should be undercover??? Let's do 50/50 and leave people alone. We all know half of them can't shoot. But let people carry open 24/7 without restriction. If I see someone trying to take away a gun from someone.... likely I've been paying attention.

Plenty of backpackers and hunters open carry. To say always keep it concealed while camping is a bit ignorant. To say people who open carry are always the ones with cheap guns and cheap rigs is showing more of your ignorance. Let’s take backpacking….if you choose to carry while in bear country, as many do, and you have a 40 lbs pack on your back with shoulder and wide waist traps, where do you propose they conceal a 10mm pistol in a way where they could draw in time for a charging bear? Many backpackers may use a chest rig so it is out of the way of their straps. That doesn’t make them yahoo who’s just out to flash a gun. Also, what does it matter if a backpacker has an expensive gun and rig or a budget option? Stop being a gun snob. My bear country sidearm and rig isn’t cheap but even if it was, who cares? I’d never look down on another hiker for choosing a more budget friendly firearm and rig option as long as it’s suitable to the task. And if it wasn’t suitable I may offer some advice if they are inexperienced but I would just smirk all smug like the 3 of you do. 👎

when you stand at the wrong end of the gun the last thing you are thinking is oh look its a BP no problem

my inline never fails me nor my sawed off each use 209 primers my two 44s cap jam rare and I am very safe in my home PS I own more

❤was recently gifted a commercial, California made (National Ordnance, South El Monte, Ca.) In like new condition

the information about the stoppages at fort hood is incorrect here. The torso shots stopped people, some were only shot once and died. AND keep in mind he wasn't using a top 5 ammo choice either. THAT's important.

bought mine out of the back of American Rifleman, Inland, NRA very good $90.

You CAIN’T Leave Me!!!

I assume this is because you tube's management idiocracy. teh stupid are strong with them.

Nothing is lost. The 2 channels have just combined.

We’ll miss you. 🥲. I certainly understand why though.

We need to make more as and self defence rifle with 10 to 20 rounds or 15 round mags.these are good for women and other for home and long gun protections and should be made for home protection instead of Bidins double baroll shot guns. But in a home invasion is a great weapon.

Your 22 magnum won’t penetrate body armor! These bullets have a nasty tendency to turn backwards! They have great ballistics considerations as well as velocity! I was at Ft. Hood for that incident believe me nobody wants to be shot at with a 5.7 !! Magazine capacity is also great! I wouldn’t want to be shot with a 22 magnum either! I believe in precision accuracy for self defense and this round is great for accuracy at close range!

With typical striaght line ignitions, nipples to the powder chambers, if loaded correctly and propetly maintained, I have had virtually no chain fires, hang fires or misfires. I have been shooting all types of black powder firearms for over 50 years. Know fl8nlocks are a bit more finicky, just takes more experience and a quality firearm. By the way I had my hunting 50 caliber hawkin loaded for over six months and she wrnt off without a hitch. You just need to know what your doing.

It was Bill Hickock, AKA Wild Bill. And it was in Deadwood where he was shot in the back of his head, while holding Aces over eights at the poker table.

Just curious, why would someone need to shoot an armadillo? Quick Henry we’ve been overrun there’s armadillos everywhere.😂

I challenge all 3 of you to open carry for 30 days. I double dog dare you. Film it.

If it is reliable why not carry a Rossi today rather than wait for two years to carry a colt.

I have mosberg 22 mag a row barrel it’s deadly

Thanks for your post and comments regarding the .22 Magnum. I have a .22 Mag bolt action rifle. My most interesting .22 Magnum firearm is the PMR30. It shipped with 2, 30-round magazines.

Make full auto legal again! It's good for the economy.

Western Colorado man here and I always carry. When I go camping, I carry what many would call an arsenal sometimes, just depends. Since my favorite hobby is fast draw with my Ruger single action and that gun belt packs better than any of my others, that is what I carry on me when I camp. It is different here; nobody thinks anything of seeing someone open carrying. Last summer I was camping on the river in one of my favorite spots. There was one other guy in the campground (Roger), we met and jawed a bit at his camp, he was from back east and was gold panning. He met my dog Zule and was fine with Zule ranging the campground as our guard (he is really good at it). Roger never said a word about me packing, didn't seem to bother him in the least. Just after sundown a couple pulled into one of the spots between us in a car. Zule's hackles went up, so I put him in the camper and started walking toward the car to introduce myself. They had walked off toward the river and as I started down the path gunfire broke out, four shots in rapid succession, thankfully not aimed in my direction. I eased down the path as the gunfire resumed and came out of the willows about ten feet behind the couple. The young man was trying to clear a jam in his ridiculous "AK Pistol" and the girl was sitting on a rock. They both jumped two feet straight in the air when I said hello. Within seconds it was obvious these two were hyped out of their heads on something, and that always gets my goat, I unsnapped the Ruger. I explained that I was ready for bed and the other camper was probably in bed and it was a little late to be target practicing. I asked him what he was shooting at, he pointed to a can about twenty feet down the beach and said, "I just want to finish this clip on it, ok?" It was not a fast draw, but my sight acquisition was quick, and it probably seemed like it to them. The can flew off in the distance and I said "No, you should leave." If you think crack heads jump high when you sneak up on them, you should see what they do when a 45 Long Colt goes off and their can disappears when they are not expecting it. It was quite comical, and they decided to leave. I walked up to Roger's camp to let him know everything was ok, he broke out a beer and we had a good laugh going over the story. He said when they went past his camp on their way out, they were white as sheets and going like the devil himself was on their tale. I think he was exaggerating a little because he could see how much I was enjoying myself.

I suspect that loudness is less of an issue with revolvers due to the cylinder gap.

"You can reach the gun on your ankle...". Speak for yourself slim. 😊

If a gun breaks a second one could be handy. It happens.

Video performance: 0 out of 50 7. Not a single tag, description, or title that is optimized for search engine optimization. I have a lot planned for your channel. There are a few more reasons why your videos are limited to your channel. In a word, your video is awesome; such videos are in great demand. If you do this thing correctly please Send me your Email thank you.

Interesting, the ranges around here will not allow you to shoot any ammo that you don't buy from them, don't allow double taps or anything but slow fire, and don't allow you to draw.

I know this video is a year old, but regular 38 wad cutters at 750fps out of these light guns like the Ruger LCRx make them really comfortable to shoot and maintain point of aim

There is some evidence that chain fires are most often from improperly fitted caps assuming your ball is proper size. Replacing stock nipples with quality ones appears to help quite a bit with cap jams.
