Ammo and firearm comparison that I thought was interesting and the type of side-by-side comparisons that I enjoy and try to do myself as much as I can (not really that often :( )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YTOV4dYLQE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YTOV4dYLQE)
Generally what I'll tell folks that ask regarding my opinions regarding use of semi-auto and revolvers for defense. Add to that the much different triggers on DA revolvers.
I've shot airweights and snubbies with .357 Mag and I think they suck, but not quite painful. Get up to the .457 and .500 stuff and that I will say is painful.
-
I saw this and really enjoyed it. If you like this sort of thing Paul Harrel on YouTube does numerous similar comparisons with different barrel lengths, 40SW vs 10mm etc.
I had the opportunity to take out my Taurus Judge this summer on vacation and give it a workout with 7 or 8 different loads for 45 colt accuracy and recoil, and with the 410 loads for shot patterns at different distances.
A chronograph is definitely on my short list of things to add to my ensemble for experimentation. Hoping the Lab Radar MAC uses won’t pick up interference at KHSC from shooters on other lanes.

9mm rivals the 357magnum??? don't even go there! :crazy:
but it is a very good video. :thumbsup:

Thanks. Will have to check that channel out. I love head to head tests like tests like these for comparison and only wish I could do more for myself.
I also wondered about that for the Lab Radar. It seems like they are sensitive to obstructions as you get closer to the target and I think the zone is wide enough that if you had someone shooting next to you, it would mess things up. That and the initial reading is from the shot report, so probably no bueno for the bulleye range unless it's pretty empty.

Haha. Figured there would be a few revolver defenders. ;)
But yeah, he meant in specific aspects of the comparison that he did. I still believe that my 686+ with 6" barrel loaded with .357 Mag would be an excellent defensive gun given certain circumstances. . . but not a very wide range of circumstances. . . ;D
-
so what I got from that video was shooting a 9mm from both a semiauto and revolver, you'll get better results from a revolver.
the Wheel Gun wins again!!! :geekdanc:

Well, S&W revolvers are better! :P

I don't own any 9mm firearms, but I've always been tempted to get a Blackhawk convertible 357/9mm so i can shoot cheaper 9mm ammo
I did really like shooting my friends' VP9. it is a great pistol.
S&W do make some great and classic revolvers. :thumbsup:
they have very nice and smooth triggers compared to Ruger revolvers
I'd really like to get a 29 and a 10
-
i can see how the 9mm would be better than a 38 or equal to 357 if youre using a snub nose revolver for the comparison. the 357 wont be able to build optimal power and will still have more recoil.

My only revolver is a 686+ that I brought to the revolver shoot. Love that gun. The trigger is nice and it’s supposed to get better after 3000 rounds or so. If so, that will be awesome. But 38 app ammo isn’t cheap.

Yup. In this specific example. I was surprised that they were that close. I thought .38 SPL would’ve been higher velocity.
The “muzzle to body” example was also interesting. Seen many stories of that causing malfunction or failure to fire.

Yeah.
I was going to comment initially that there's no way 9mm would be close to 357. Then I had to stop and think about the ballistics of 357 and how much power it loses from ultra short barrels.
38 special didn't surprise me. 9mm has higher pressure and more velocity overall.
-
They make a devise for a Glock that prevents out of battery.
Every type of pistol has it's pros/cons. So if we could carry in Hawaii, my semi-auto would be in my waist band and a snub nose revolver around the ankle.

My SD gun at home is a 9mm revolver with 3" barrel. A Ruger Speed Six to be exact. :love: :love: :love:
The 9mm vs .38 Special and .357 Magnum is nothing new. A .38 SPL and .357 Mag can be hand loaded to beat a 9mm but I don't rely on hand loads for SD ammo. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The Security Six is the deluxe version of my gun. And I believe the Security Six also was chambered in 9mm at some point in time. When I bought the revolver I realized it was built like a tank! It will never wear out in my lifetime. I have no doubt it will go bang every time I need it to. That is important.
I don't have a backup. I just keep 7 more full moon clips right next to the gun in case I miss.

Do those 9mm revolvers need moon clips?

ruger speed sixes in 9mm are rarer. I was looking for one a while back. they use moon clips.

Some do, some don’t. Those that don’t require moon clips include:
1. Charter Arms Pit Bull
2. Korth Sky Marshall (I think there are 2 or 3 models from Korth)
3. S&W Model 547 (No longer made)
4. Ruger Blackhawk 38/357/9mm (Intercahngeable cylinders - Single Action Only)
Revolvers that require moonclips include:
1. Ruger Security Six/Speed Six (No longer made)
2. Ruger SP101 (No longer chambered in 9mm)
3. Chiappa Rhino (They have different models)
4. S&W Model 929
5. S&W Model 986 (Currently for sale at a great price here: https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=26695.0)
6. Taurus Model 905 (I think there are a couple of different models)
7. Ruger LCR
These are all I know of. I am sure there are more.
Technically speaking all (or most) 9mm revolvers can be loaded without moonlips as the 9mm cartridge headspaces on the front of the case. Unloading them is another matter. I frequently shoot my 9mm revolver that requires moonclips without using the moonclips. I glued a wooden drawer pull to the end of a 1/4” wood dowel and I use it to poke out the empties.

I had an older one. Didn’t like the way it shot. I put hogues on it and still didn’t like it. Gave it to my nephew. Last time I visited my nephew I took him shooting and I fell in love with the revolver all over again. But he won’t sell it back to me. So now I can decide if I want to buy a new one. Thanks! 🤙

At least your nephew likes it :thumbsup:

:rofl: Not sure if he really likes it or not. He has a hard time hitting anything with it. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I think he wants it because his uncle does. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Last time we went shooting he kept saying something was wrong with it because he could not hit the target with it. So I picked it up and proceeded to put the first 5 rounds into a 3” group at around 10-15 yards. It took a while to teach him basic grip and control. He started to get the hang of it after a while. But still, you gotta practice.
Just like most Rugers the SP101 is built like a tank. Personally I think the 9mm cartridge is excellent for a snubby revolver. But I’m prejudiced.
-
Family firearms are important to me too. I gave my nephew my 10/22 and 6" blued GP100 a few years ago. It was difficult letting that GP100 go, but it eased the pain bc I have another 6" GP100 in stainless so I didn't cry too many tears.
Rugers are built like tanks. Especially their revolvers. One of the main features that attracted me to them. But I'm a little prejudiced too. ;)
9mm is a great caliber. I'm afraid to get one bc it might open the flood gates to a whole new money pit bc I might like it.

When my father died I received a few of his firearms. A couple of them are special to me and won’t leave my possession until I get to be too old to shoot. Hopefully, one of my nieces/nephews desires a firearm that my father owned. Considering my father was not very active in his grandchildren’s lives I will not be able to hand them down. So I will probably either sell them at that time or die with them in my possession. In which case my executor is directed to sell every asset and distribute all funds accordingly. It’s a shame because I hate to not hand them down. But so far no one in my family wants them.
Even though I think 9mm is a better choice for SD in a snubby (3” or less) revolver, I really prefer the .38 SPL and .357 Mag as an all around general revolver round. You can load them up to just about any power level for all types of shooting desires. Especially in 4”-6” barrel length revolvers. The .44 Mag and .45 Colt are the best and most versatile large caliber cartridges with the .45 Colt being my favorite. If I was younger I would still be in collecting mode and buying 2 or 3 of the 9mm revolvers I mentioned earlier.

Thanks! I had been interested in a 9 mm revolver since I try to always have a bunch of 9 around. I heard some function issues with many and sort of dropped it. But a snubby revolver in 9 sounds interesting again.

Don't forget your black powder and 2a shooting family! :thumbsup:
I was always interested in .357 Mag for self defense, particularly in revolvers and lever guns when we would be out in the woods when I lived in WA. That combination seemed like it would handle most of threats we would encounter. Both the rabid four legged threats as well as the hipping/ice head two legged ones. . .

I always try go get folks involved in shooting. I mostly let them come to me, which actually happens pretty often. I've had a number of coworkers sort of quietly approach me to take them shooting and get them their affidavit, which I am happy for the most part. As for family, I've taken many in my immediate family shooting. I've actually seen a couple of cousins at the range, but haven't gotten around to talking to them about getting other cousins, aunts, uncles, etc to go shooting. I should though.

If I ever decide to move back to the mainland, I will offer a few pieces of my collection to a few close friends. That’s the way we roll around here. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Only reason why I chose a 9mm vs any other caliber is because it's the cheapest to shoot that has a recoil. Compared to 45, 38, 40.
Learning fundamentals takes lots of rounds.

Even though the 9mm Luger cartridge was designed specifically as a semi-auto round, I believe it is the ultimate round for small, short barrelled revolvers. Definitely much better than the .38 Special even in +P form. Not as good as the .357 Magnum, but it is also less harsh as far as recoil is concerned. Both semis and revolvers have their distinct advantages. I prefer the short barrelled revolver in medium and small frames for SD and CC.
-
If Hawaii allowed CCW, I would carry a 9mm revolver as my ankle gun only. Again 9mm because learning to shoot will take lots of ammo and it's cheaper than the alternatives.

There was a time when I was not able to reload. I did the same thing. I bought a bunch of 9mm and .22 and that’s all I shot for years. I shot a lot of rounds and got in a lot of practice.

Add the S&W 940(9 mm) to the moon clip list.
Back when I was in a free country my wife carried a S&W 940.
I carried a Astra A70(9 mm) or an Excam RX 22.
Today in Hawaii we fear for our lives when we
are not at our place of residence, business, or sojourn.

Oh yeah, the 940. Don’t think that one is made any more. That was a while ago. Thanks for reminding me.
My guess is they are few and far between on Gun Broker and going for a premium.

Moon clip acts as sort of a speed loader.
brass pops right out.
Yes 940 is older but a sweet CC gun.
They are not cheap at $800 plus today.
They only made them for a few years.
I think I paid $325 for mine the day Clinton
was first elected. Clinton was a good
gun salesman also.

good points for the 357
compares a 9mm+p to a hot loaded 357 round. the potential of the caliber.

Nothing really new here. But for those who don’t know, he explains the differences, the potentials and comparables very well.
For me, I never compared the .357 to the 9mm. I always felt that the better comparison was with the .38 Special and 9mm. And I believe the 9mm is better out of a short barrel comparatively speaking. Out of a 4” or longer barrel, I think the 2 rounds are pretty close.
I have been rethinking my SD gun and I am considering going to my DAO S&W Model 10 in .38 Special with a 3” barrel. I have been researching some old loadings for .38 that come close to the low end of the .357. A friend of mine loaded them for me to try and I was very impressed with the performance. I’m trying to find similar loadings using a different powder he did. I need to do further research and load testing but I really think if I can find something suitable using a powder I have on hand I will more than likely make the switch.

Almost as much bloopers as actual content. ;D
This guy can be a bit of a goober, but some of his videos are interesting.
Energy is 1/2 m x v^2. So a 100 FPS difference is quite a lot. That is assuming equal bullet expansion performance. That said, I’ve always considered .357 Mag in a class of its own. Similar to Inspector, I’ve thought .38 SPL in a similar class to 9 mm. I admit that .357 Mag oug of snubbies isn’t my favorite to shoot. Maybe if I expanded my revolver collection, I might get a snubbing .357 Mag one day, just for versatility.

he's kind of a funny guy, so I enjoy his humor and out takes as much as his gun knowledge
when I bought my LCR in 38sp I considered the 357 as well, but i'm glad I went with the 38sp bc shooting that out of a light small revolver is about all I would like to handle. even 38sp out of the LCR is pretty snappy on my wrist
but with my 3" GP100, 357 is a breeze bc its a much heavier gun and the grip is bigger too, but its not very concealable

I hear ya. For my first revolver, I really wanted a 4" GP100 or 686+. I ended up with a 6" barreled 686+ as that is what they had in stock when I ended up getting another handgun. After shooting the 6" barreled 686+, I've been VERY happy. It's primarily a teaching gun and for range fun. The weight of the 6" barrel and heavy nature of the 686 series makes for a very pleasant shooting gun. Even with the full .357 Mag "hot loads". ;D

I think the .357 Magnum is one of the best all around rounds for just about anything. I have probably shot more .357 than any other cartridge I load for. Except maybe 9mm. And even really hot rounds I can shoot all day without pain in a larger frame revolver. BTW, the .357 is interesting to shoot out of a semi auto pistol. I have not shot the Coonan but I have shot the Desert Eagle in .357. I expected it to have more recoil than it did. Especially since I was also shooting the Eagle chambered for the 50 AE round.
I like 4”-5” barrels on a .357 revolver. If you are not going to holster the gun then a 6” barrel is sweet for target work. I just put a Vortex Venom reflex red dot on my 5” barrel S&W 627. I bought the red dot used from a friend. When I finally got on paper with it, I was resting the gun to sight it in and I had forgotten how accurate the gun and round I load for it is. I put 5 rounds all touching on target. I wish I could shoot like that without resting it. It is my favorite revolver.
As far as snubbies are concerned I do have my Model 10 with a 3” barrel but it is only in .38 Special. I don’t appreciate the recoil in a smaller lighter revolver like an airweight or something similar. A few hot .357 rounds is okay but it hurts after a short while. I remember shooting a Ruger SP-101 5 shot snubby and it didn’t take more than a cylinder or two to make me want to stop. And the SP-101 is stout for a small revolver. I also shot it with some .38’s and it was still a bit of a handful.

I think Ruger still makes the SP101 in 9mm

Have you shot it yet?

Nope, registered :( it on Columbus Day and plan on shooting it for the first time at the HRA annual meeting, Sunday the 28th of this month. I know you're a HRA member so come by action bay 1 if you want to try it.

You have a holster for it yet?
I bet that will be a sweet shooting gun. Might have to set up challenge against a micro semi-auto. Like a Glock 43 or Shield.
