[@michaelmiles6398]

Colt detective special. S&W model 36 and 37.

[@jkaugust3586]

What does he mean by "double action/single action" revolver at the end? You can use it in either mode? E.g., squeeze trigger shoot and/or manually cock trigger and release trigger shoot?

[@adamesd3699]

Yes

[@chikinawk844]

Would a Kimber K6xs .38+P make it onto this list now that Kimber has released it?

[@adamesd3699]

Yes

[@jimchambers7548]

Thats funny my S&W 442 is a 38spl center fire. This video says its a rim fire they stop making in 1996🙄😂

[@phillipternullo4934]

Why the Title of 38 Special and the show and talk about .357 models ?

[@adzesom]

I mean can't you use 38 with them aswell, maybe why but even then idk

[@jimchambers7548]

They don't know what they're talking about, they said a S&W 442 was a rim fire that's discontinued. It's a 38spl that you can buy new today

[@jkaugust3586]

as a rim fire I assume it was 22 caliber? Or not? that would be a special round rim fire round. How available is custom rim fire 38 special rounds? @@jimchambers7548

[@thelonemoose4718]

Lake County Examiner, Lakeview, Oregon: Wednesday, March 24th, 2021/Letters To The Editor Ruger SP-101 Letter to the editor: Best general-purpose handgun For a general-purpose handgun consider Ruger’s SP-101 .357 revolver: “stainless steel”, 5 shot swing out cylinder (double-action), with 4.2” barrel and target sights for the citizen owning only one handgun. Versatile for "self-defense/house protection/concealed carry", as a kit and trail gun for the outdoorsman/ sportsman, and for urban metro vs. wilderness rural use. At 30 oz. unloaded lightweight (for the hiker, backpacker, trapper), yet heavy enough to handle the .357 Magnum. Loaded with .38 Special 148 grain lead target wad-cutter ammo (next to a .22 or .32) practical for hunting small game: rabbit, squirrel, and grouse (for the campfire skillet), for dispatching vermin such as raccoon, skunk, possum, etc. Even for butchering livestock such as cattle with a head shot. Loaded with CCI's classic .38 Special shot or snake load of No. 9 shot highly effective in killing rattlesnakes. Readily and instantly accessible in reach via a nightstand, dresser or bureau drawer, or next to a sleeping bag inside a tent is very comforting armed security to have, especially at night! This handgun would also be great for a long-haul trucker, or hay hauler, to carry. Even for the motorist traveling on a road trip. Yes, bear in mind being broken down, stranded, and having to spend the night alone in your vehicle. This .38/.357 revolver combination along with an Atomic Beam Flashlight, survival knife, fresh drinking water, food, toilet paper, shovel, matches, wool blanket, etc. could certainly take back the night. Even for a woman it's smaller frame and size would still fit her smaller hands. And firing.38 Special ammo in this .*357 Magnum could still be handled by a female. Double action revolvers can be improved with aftermarket combat rubber grips. I recommend reading, "Meet Ruger's SP-101 Revolver: The Ideal Gun For Self Defense", by Kyle Mizokan via the April 2019 issue of The National Interest. James A. Farmer Merrill, Oregon (Klamath County). Long Live The State of Jefferson! *.357 Magnum revolvers will chamber and fire .38 Special ammo, but not the reverse. Also...."SP-101 Like Physics, Only Practical" by Law Officer for January 3, 2009 is well worth reading. On the Net: Ruger Firearms at www.ruger.com
