I'm not sure what that word means, but it makes my pee-pee feel funny.

Ubiquitous (adj.): That shit is everywhere.

Just because shit is everywhere doesn't mean I have to step in it.

I have a .38 S&W, not a .38 Special mind you, a .38 S&W. It has about as much penetration as a dry sock thrown by a small asian woman. Also shot LRN .32 H&R magnum through my Nagant revolver, was surprisingly accurate but still rather lacking in terminal ballistics.

If you want to go for a snubby .32 get one in 327 magnum, you get your sixth shot and a step-up in power from .32 H&R magnum.

I prefer .38 long colt if we're being purposefully snowflake.

Can still shoot it in a .38 special revolver. or even a .357 for that matter.

Given that most people stop after being shot for purely psychological reasons which no scientific study correlates with caliber and only a shot to the brain/spine will stop a particularly determined person quickly (anywhere else will take longer than it takes you to dump all the ammo you have into the person with whatever reasonable pistol you may carry). Any handgun ammunition that penetrates to the FBI recommended 12"-18" of ballistics gelatin or more (though I'd personally prefer at least 15") would be perfectly acceptable for self defense in almost all situations sans the ones where you only manage to hit organs that will cause the person to die eventually, run out of ammunition, then have to fight the person hand to hand until their eventual demise.

>The result is a fairly lethal cartridge that brings new usefulness to millions of these old pistols. Depending on how much clothing must be penetrated and how much bone is encountered, expect 17 to 23 inches of straight line penetration in mammalian tissue with this load. At 100grs., this bullet is the same weight as other current weak factory offerings, but is going around 200 fps faster than any other commercial load we could find that utilize 100gr. bullets.

I'm personally annoyed by Buffalo Bore's marketing, but the boss does a decent job making killing ammo for obscure shit like .32 H&R and .38 S&W/New Police.

What about .32-20?

make that .32 H&R Magnum or.327 Fed Mag and I'm OK with it. .32 S&W is too weak for my blood

32.long should work but just why.....

Better than a sharpened stick. I'd say get yourself an LCR in .327 Fed. Mag.

its was favored by cops and gangsters during the prohibition and beyond
the cartridge really only died because they stooped making guns for them. Its on the lower end of the .380 tier range, not terrible but not a whole lot either. It'll still kill people
