What I like about the 640 is in times of a real ammo scarcity you have the 357 option. Also 38's are a dream to shoot out of the 640. And it's a piece that will out live my grandkids.

Since i have been a ppc competitor years, and reload 38 target loads, practice with the pew pew loads is easy. The pick up in raw stopping power from the 357 is absolutely worth it.

I was just thinking about revolvers and contrasting caliber performance in my brain as I stepped outside earlier with my .38 Taurus 685 PP loaded with standard pressure, 165 gr. Hornady Critical Defense rounds in my shorts pocket. A little bit of time later, here's a video on exactly that! Cool coincidence! Now, I'd like to go "arm up" to a hotter .38 round for less lousy performance values lol. I appreciate the useful, simple-to-digest information conveyed here. This is great to know for those carrying an old, but gold, snubby as a deep cover pocket "toss it in there and go" and/or backup handgun. To be there as a last resort, easier to employ alternative to a pistol that the mag release, or worse yet lighter-to-pull trigger, can get bumped and accidentally engaged from inside a pocket or beneath clothing like a uniform shirt over a concealed armor vest holster, pant leg concealing a boot-top ankle holster, or from under an outer coat.

GREAT VID!!! People need this info because, as you pointed out, there is so much mis-information "out there." I've reloaded for several decades and I recall in interesting comparison in the old Speer #7 reloading manual from the 1960s (or 70s?). The folks at Speer made a similar point about 2 inch .38 vs .357 with handloads from their manual. As they pointed out, the .357 wasters a LOT of powder in muzzle flash - however it still had significantly more power than .38 Special loads when 2 inch barrels are used for both. For MY cup of tea, I'll leave full house .357s for heavier, all steel guns - I'm a few years past retirement age and recoil is becoming a factor. But I'm quite glad I can still shoot magnums at all! Thanks again / you do great vids.

@JohnLloydScharf 3 года назад

@@exothermal.sprocket Rounds in this light for size under 16 oz. snub nose are harder to produce good ballistic results with. When a full sized .357 fails to perform properly it seems to over-penetrate. With a snub nose, it tends to under penetrate. However, in real world self defense, the .357/.38 Special beats the 9mm out of the same size barrel. All handguns should have the mission of getting you to cover. If you need a 9mm capacity, it is because you are a bad shot and a danger to innocent bystanders.

A good compromise round between these two for snubbies is 9mm. Arguably a ballistic sweet spot and the ammo is certainly affordable, available, and effective.

@LESPAUL44mag 3 года назад

Great video, but I'll say the .357 magnum has a much bigger punch than the 9mm. The mid 300s (energy foot lbs) you got out of the snub nose are close to 9mm in a full size pistols. The 600s you got in the .357 5" were much higher numbers than I've ever seen in a 9mm.

@shikat2371 2 года назад

Agreed. Based on this comparison though, .357s out of a 2" barrel aren't any more powerful than the 9mm+ps and, with some high-end loads like Buffalo Bore, they can actually outperform the .357s by a significant margin. So, is all that recoil worth it? If .357 mag is something I wanna actually carry around, I'd rather have a revolver with a 3" barrel. That extra inch in barrel length will make a huge difference over the 2" in velocity and muzzle energy.

When I think of a wheel gun I think of using it at spitting distances. Greatest advantage of it is the reliability and the fact that you can put the muzzle on something without your firearm going out of battery (if someone is grappling with you). I'm not super worried about engaging someone 10 yards away or more or I'd be carrying a semi auto with much higher capacity

@snek9353 3 года назад

Sure the battery thing is mostly true, but you ignore the cylinder gap. You shoot a 357 mag with the gun close in like that you're likely to injure yourself badly. The out of battery thing can be in part solved by selection and completely solved by not pressing it into them. The gap issue can't be solved, the only way to safely fire a revolver is with it out front.

Consistent accuracy under all conditions is all that matters - think worse case scenario, weak hand only.

@rfdsrd 3 года назад

@Big Mike No, strong hand down for the count. Doh.

I’ve got a kimber k6s snub, great gun but the Underwood loads really get your attention with the wood grips. 😆 I’ve got some full wrap Hogue’s on the way. Lol

I have the smith in the video and shot some Underwood extreme penetrators through it. I managed 4 before I quit. The recoil out of that is worse than a 460

I have the same gun. It's great!!! I once shot a cylinder full of 357's out of it. I'll never do that again. LOL

Good work. I like the 130gr. magnum load for its consistency with FBI "specs". I think it should perform like a 9mm 4". But, thats also/really the predominant factor, as you know. How bouts a gel test of those? I like a laser for that profile, also.

@billvilla7799 3 года назад

I carry a S&W 640pro. I find it as comfortable to shoot in .357 mag as a small polymer 9mm's with good self defense rounds. Weight is your friend when shooting...it helps with recoil which means you are on target faster with follow up shots.

Awesome man!

My first Deer rifle was a .357 Mag, when i was 7 years old, it is a Pump action IMI Timber Wolf, and it is such quality! i Love it, it holds 11 .357 Mag rounds, such a fun gun to shoot!

Am I the only one confused when I look at that white board?

@ragedashboard6374 3 года назад

Ignore the "38 vs 357" up top. White board data is only the snub nose. Black is 38spl, red is 357

@lennybrewster4673 3 года назад

Simply the bullet velocities of the two rounds averaged out per load.

In a nutshell, when in doubt use .38 special +P.

The 357 nay sayers act like the extra flash and concussion isn't useful. But when you want to flashbang the guy your shooting it's a win/win.

Flashbangs work both ways

I carry a model 60 J frame quite a bit down here in Florida. I can slip it into a back pocket and you’d never know it’s there. I have other guns that I carry mostly a Sig pistol but throw on a pair of board shorts and shirt and flip flops that J frame is perfect.

@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084 3 года назад

I bought a Ruger LCR .357 for ccw. Good info.

@mikewerden4056 3 года назад

Mike you are a stud. Best advice in my opinion is advising MOST people not to shoot hot 357 mag out of S&W 340. It would pop out of MOST peoples hands with those rounds. Model 60 as you said is a different animal. Great info.
