Default Found some Extremly Hard to find Ammo...

Been looking for a long time for this ammo, it's extremely hard to come buy, it's short barrel stuff made expressly for snubbies...as soon as it hits the stores & the internet it's gone...just can't keep it in stock....

135gr +p GDHP and 125gr nyclad.....

Ammo is designed for a short barrel 38spl revolver like the one in the picture...the gold dot ammo is 135gr +p and designed for the pistol with the powder used and such...higher velocity, heavier bullet...the other round is a 125gr nyclad, ubber soft lead with a big hollow point encased in nylon to keep from leading the barrel...the bullet hits flesh and expands...lots....

Pistol is a nickle plated hammerless S&W 442, it was a limited production run between 93 and 95 I think it was (need to look it up on KBB) as S&W had issues with the nickle plating...I had to send it back once as the plating was sloughing off...the one pictured was purchased in late 93 I think it was, never realized they ended production of the nickle ones..

I like my revolvers to have both single & double action. Not into the double action only

who would have thought that you would have something bad to say about someone else's gun especially in a thread specifically about ammunition........ i bet if he posted up a SA/DA revolver you would have made the comment on how you like to have your revolvers to be DA only so that the trigger pull is super heavy so you don't shoot yourself accidentally since some SA when cocked have a super light trigger <2# and in DA they can be >10# when not cocked.....

He's the little kid in school, always looking for attention due to having a shitty home life & that any attention is better than none...

I'd love to see what his shrink has to say about his personality disorders....

You of all members know that I like my self-defense pistols to be able to ****-n-lock & revolvers to be SA/DA.
