Some of the history is written up in one of Jeff Cooper's books including experiments using custom cylinders in Colt SAA, .45Colt cartridge cases, and loads using multiple powders at the same time.

I’ve always loved .45 LC and .454 Casull. One of my favorite revolvers still to this day is my S&W Model 25 and I’ve been hand loading “+P” loads for it for quite some time. Then I found the .454 Casull and really was able to get crazy with my hand loads. Personally I feel that full house .454 doesn’t feel much different than shooting hot .44 mag but with much better ballistics.

I had a freedom arms 454 Casull premier grade and I hand loaded mine with 38.2 grains of H110 under a 240 grain XTP Mag….. brute of a round

My fiance then / wife now bought me a Taurus Raging Bull chambered in 454 Casull. This is how I knew she was a keeper! 😅

That lead bullet behaved more like a hardcast lead hunting bullet than a softer "cowboy action" bullet.

The 454Casull is an absolute monster rated at 1,850 fps 255 grain FMJ but I've seen some pushing 2,200 fps through 9.50" barrels.

"for whatever psychotic reasons" LOL

I remember when a five shot SA revolver in .454 Casull was considered THE ultimate handgun for folks who spent a lot of time in the wilderness. IIRC Ruger was the only manufacturer who made one as regular (but limited) production.

Thanks for being the only channel that addressed the 327’s significant recoil. Although it is true that comparing to a snub nose 357, it is less, that doesn’t mean significantly less. I think it might be educational if we compared stopping power of the 327 to a modern 38 special +P. (My Colt Cobra is comparable to my Ruger 327, in size and weight, and gives me 6 rounds of +P). Too bad H&R didn’t go just a tad hotter back in the 1980’s when they introduced their magnum. Seems like a case of underkill v overkill…

40 short and weak, 10 auto💪

Spent the morning loading the grandfather of this fine cartridge, the original .38 (short) Colt.

very relevant video for me, I am weighing 16" or 12" for my next build.

I have been looking for H&R 32 magnum ammo, and it is close to impossible to find. Surprisingly, 32 Smith and Wesson Long is easily to find and 327 Federal is not hard to find. Maybe with the new Smith and Wesson revolver in 32 H&R Magnum, those rounds will become easier to find.

excellent

Test ain't real life. Lady here in GA stopped a intruder with a 22

It's no longer a cold start drill after the first draw. Great drill for marksmanship, but not the most realistic for defensive shooting as statistically you'll be from 3-5 yards. Good shooting tho'.

I've got a legacy p229 in 40 and carry it everyday. Is it the most concealable? Maybe not as good as some but I dress for it and it is a extremely comfortable and accurate pistol to shoot. I think hes right. Shoot enough and it's not at all hard to shoot well

The problem with open hollow points in 380 is that it’s too slow so the hole gets clogged up with clothing and fails to expand in every shot! U have to be guessing how many rounds are going to expand because not all of them expand while going through clothing. Specially heavy clothing. That’s the reason I recommend Hornady Critical Defense, that bullet will expand in every shot because of the red plug. Do ur research guys and chose accordingly fellas!

I have a kimber K 6s 2 inch all stainless and I love the weight

AXG, it’s AXG!!

Thank you. Rev

Do with this what you will: the commonly recommended .32 defensive loadings are the hot-loaded European FMJ rounds, the 73gr Fiocci and the 73gr S&B rounds. These rounds are hotter than the PMC you fired, and they feature a beveled rim and long OAL to prevent rim-lock and improve reliability in autos. THOSE are the rounds to put to the test in a gel block, not the PMC target ammo. Expansion is pretty much a non-starter in .32 from what I've seen - using hot Euro rounds improves reliability and penetration in this little caliber.

OK...OK... 🙂❤

Sig 239 is a single stack 357 sig

Sig still make 357 sig. I got 3 2 legions and a p229 all 357 sig. love the round over 40

My first revolver was a 44 Magnum. I primarily used 240 grain loads. That is my favorite caliber. So, for me, 357 Magnum isn't going to give me any surprises. 44 Magnum is just a little too big for carry. At least for now.

So, in other words 10mm isn't for sissies.

Loved the presentation.

When reliability and ease of carry trump all other factors, the little .38 will always have a place. Shooting the ballistic equivalent of the old fashioned Treasury load and FBI load is going to hurt, but not as much as it hurts at the other end. In bear cub season, you'll want to hike with a more powerful round, but there are even Scandium .45 these days and depending on how you dress, this could work.

I have several 22lr firearms. More than several. 2 or 3 severals.

That picture is the 4006 TSW 😊

None of the second generation Silvertips with the larger hollow point and jacket tha comes up i long fingers work. Looks like they would but they don't. Not in any calibers. Go figure.

Oh Btw great range of calibers. However sort of surprised you didnt include 44 S&W/ Russian. John wesley Hardin seemed to like it, kinda like a 45 ACP of its day in a S&W first model DA top break. Just dont drop the gun 😂

I am from the UK. When the .22 came on the scene in the turn of the 20th century, a lot of British black powder 300 calibre "rook rifles" where tubed by Parker Hale of Birmingham and converted. My father shot all his life with a beautiful little Franchoti 300 ex BP rook rifle in Martini action that he had converted by Parker Hale to 22. Only problem was he kept the original barrel length of about 27 inches and it was fine for .22 Short and Long but when LR came along the barrel would visibly "whip" as the bullet passed down the delicate thin barrel, quite alarmingly when watching from the side! He always preferred to use .22 Short, but I could not persuade him to cut a foot off the barrel which would have sorted the problem. Don't know about the US ammo situation, but over here you could still buy .22 short right up to around 2012 and I used to use it sometimes in my Winchester 94 .22 lever action. Short is unavailable in the UK now. Currently, I hunt squirrels with a Ruger Custom Shop Competition and a Browning Buckmark with a cut down 12 inch barrel which is legal here. Both have moderators which are almost mandatory in the UK as we are so polite that we don't want to upset the neighbours, obviously! That said my Marlin 45/70 BLG doesn't actually have one, although to keep the Police happy, I did apply for on on my certificate!

My edc is 38 snub nose stager loaded with 158gr swc and 135 sjphp+p,but never felt under armed with my 380 or even 32! Great vid Thanks😊

Buckeye Rod: Excellent instructional technique!! I'm going to steal this for my students. OF all the instructional channels I have seen, yours ranks among the best.. especially for the novice shooter. Thanks, and keep 'em coming!!

I have a Ruger LCP MAX that I carry when I must be absolutely sure that no one finds out that I’m armed. I have no doubt that the .380 would be sufficient, should I find myself in an unfortunate situation. I’m very happy that you mentioned the recoil of the .380. I always hear people talking about how the cartridge has very light recoil, etc. My LCP MAX is snappy as hell. It’s my least favorite to practice with.

Thank you for sharing this.

Umm, you absolutely can cock a smith wesson 638, or the same gun in blue the model 38 or the all steel model 49.

My (concealed) EDC is a Glock 42 (.380), but my home defense weapons are a Walter PPQ .45 and an AK SBR. Both house-guns are equipped with light/laser combos. Seems that most civilian gun-owners reject the laser in favor of the red dot. I have one of those (Holosun) on an AR pistol chambered in .45, but the mount’s screws got loose after my 1st test-firing at the range. I’ll eventually get around to applying lock-tight to it, perhaps after I retire next year. Anyway, just some gun-nut rambling from an older guy, lol.

To ring that steel, try a 405gr Belt Mountain Punch Solid. 😊

A Lee county Fl. deputy told me a story of why he switched from 9 to 40. It made me switch at the time. Today I carry a 380 everyday but I still have a S&W 40 V.

Good session!

Love this series

Great training tip. I had to learn that in IDPA

Good morning from Brazil. Excellent class, thanks for the video.

"...It's a very contradictory thing to be airmailing violence to somebody, while you're trying to stay calm." Good quote

So…..do you want to get hit in your chest with a 9 pound sledge, an 11 pound sledge or a 15 pound sledge hammer? Foot pounds of energy on target is as important as penetration.
