That has always been the argument.. shot placement is the important thing. Then why wouldn’t you want a bullet that expands shot placement ? Sure you can make effective shots with a .22 if you are lucky .. but how lucky do you have to be to drop a big expanding bullet in a lung?

@@ferdonandebull .22 is still to this day, the deadliest round in the world, because your shots don't matter. If you empty 5-6 rounds of a .22 into someone, their insides are slushies. Shot placement doesn't matter much, they enter, they bounce around inside the body until they find a resting place, or on a rare occasion, exit. However, you'll be shot in the arm and the bullet will exit your leg. Plus, a bullet is a bullet no matter what, one is all it takes to send someone running the other way. 9mm will not stop a threat as a effectively, and is why Police upped their calibers to .40 during the crack epidemic. A shotgun, is not practical for concealed carry, but is the ideal gun for home defense in my opinion. I don't see the benefit of a bulky .44 other than stopping power. The accuracy is awful after the initial engagement,

No safety to worry about. 357 Mag shoots 2 different rounds w no barrel changes. 357 Magnum is statistically the best one shot stopper in a combat caliber handgun round. You can get it in a 7 to 8 shot platform. I've had jams in all Glocks I've owned and no I wasn't limp wristing. Never had one in a quality revolver. Revolvers are inherently more accurate. 357 Magnum revolver also saved my life against two armed attackers. When the shtf the simplicity of a revolver is something you could never put a price on. Also the ease in which it defended my life. Still had rounds left over.... I carry a 9mm still today on more occasions when Im going out. Especially when I'm working in a dangerous large city. My 357 Magnum is more of my bedside nowdays. The reason I carry it in inner cities is I'm more likely to encounter several people at once and it may take time for help to come. I may need to lay down suppressing or cover fire. But even then I always carry a 38 snub as a BUG. Real life experience has made me a lifelong advocate of the 357 Magnum revolver

I love the amount of time, and precision he takes to make sure it is safe to move and operate the guns. When he was showcasing the guns on the pallet, I didn't see a single time in which the barrel of the gun was being pointed to the camera man, even though they were indeed empty almost all the time, he always moved the gun pointing towards the floor, pallet or away of anything/anyone.

I admire your enthusiasm for doors, brother.

.450 Marlin is a very fun round to shoot also. 👍

Fun isn't relevancy though, right?

I've only shot a .44 Mag a few times, with 'range ammo' that was probably loaded a bit light, and I didn't enjoy it very much. I never really had the hang of using revolver sights, though. I always use double ear protection, and even so... .44 Mag is ridiculously loud for a handgun. Good luck ever hearing anything again, if you ever have to use it without having time to put ear protection on.

is your job hiring?

Like you said it's fun, not practical for modern combat battle fields. If they timed the shots, you already know modern firearms would hit more if in the right trained hands. .44 is still cute though. That's all it is though on the modern field is though. Cute.

And If there's a shooting he'll be the first target

Yeah you always want to avoid people who are blatantly stupid

That statement holds quite a bit of truth

If I’m going anywhere with the possibility of bear and mountain lions I’m carrying at minimum a 10mm with Buffalo bore ammo. Glad he had a safe and gentle reminder of why he needed something bigger!

Plenty of bear have been killed with 9mm, you just need to get away from the hollow points and go for heavier FMJ ammo to get as much penetration as possible. I would want a 7 or 8 shot .357 or a 10mm Glock personally. 44 is great, but I don't have confidence I would be able to hold on to it with sweaty shaky hands when a bear is running at me.

Genuinely my favourite part of watching his evolution over the years, is he’s really embraced the sheer absurdity of what he does for a living with the science series. He can go from making you laugh like a semi-mentally handicapped seal, to being deadly serious depending on what he’s doing. What i appreciate the most, is that no matter what the tone of whatever particular video he’s doing he’ll always end it with the best lesson: all the cool shit he uses and shows off, none of it matters without training and familiarization. Which is refreshing because with some gun-youtubers you can very much get the impression that the gear matters more then personal proficiency.

That's actually very interesting. How do the wooden grips affect recoil?

@@autokrator_ The recoil will be more difficult to handle with a wooden grip than with a rubber one, it dampens less. The advantage is that when the wood is smooth enough, the handle will fall/slide easier and better in your hand. This in turn will provide better control during fast firing and also after frequent reloading. Jerry miculek also made a video about this (his grip choice and why). Furthermore, the ammunition, length of the barrel and the total weight of the revolver determine the amount of recoil.

Ah so wooden handles give faster ads speed while rubber has better recoil reduction. Got it.

Ive found the same thing. I'm a big fan of Ahrends and now that they're not in production hogue JM grips. I often shoot competitions with full power .357s and don't find wood grips that fit your hand to be uncomfortable. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZpXYPZzBgxs.html

You missed the most important part. Wooden grips are cool as hell.

Maybe maybe not. That would assuming that a shot to torso would be enough to take out the first guy which might not really be true for a lot of cases

@@MaxC_1 Starting with the closer threat would make sense and if the one shot hit both, potential pelvic saddle hit on "behind" threat, a second shot might not be needed. My old 29 was butter smooth and I carried it for quite a while. Currently carry a 9. Could carry 2 or 3 for the weight and size of the 29. Best carry is the one you can make every shot count and the semis, generally, have more shots available.

@@MaxC_1 On the street or other populated scenario, such a round (solid) passing through could have a devastating effect on an innocent person. Not good for a defensive everyday carry gun.

I was under the impression that 44 special was more like 45 Long Colt in power.

@@shockwave6213 It is. Also, .45 Colt is ballistically similar to .45 ACP

Maybe if you are the one reloading it. Factory 44 special can be disappointing. Just one example is that Hornady Crit Def 44 special and 40S&W have the same weight bullet, but there is a massive difference between the velocities.

@@NoBrakes23 All calibers "can be disappointing." There is sub-par ammo of every type, brand notwithstanding. However, traditionally, . 44 Special, .45 Colt, and .45 ACP are ballistically similar in standard loadings. One was designed as a competitor to another and one was designed as a modern version of another. That being said, there are also "light for caliber" .44 Magnum options out there that feel like peppy .44 Special loads. These guns can function well with those, too. My primary point is that you don't have to shoot wrist-breakers just because you've got a big bore. My point stands.

@@TheCharleseye The lesson here is handloading is your friend if you are a revolver shooter. For target .357 I use plated 158gr bullets only going 1200. Works well for me.
