Last several weeks I was watching on TV shows from Great Britain about moving south in warmer climate, and being curious, I started looking what kind of handgun is allowed in some of those countries. Of course, for having handgun license is mandatory, but only for shooting on the range. Handgun for self defense is out of question. As for the caliber in revolvers, I found that in some countries 38 Special is the top limit. Well, if that is the case, if I want revolver 38 Special and want to shoot "souped-up" handloads, looks to me that the most obvious choice is one of those stronger revolvers also chambered in 357 Magnum. From what I found, post WWII strong revolvers chambered in 38 Special are:
1. S&W N-frame 38/44 "Outdoorsman"
2. S&W N-frame M27
3. Ruger Security Six
4. Ruger GP100
I am not familiar with Colts, hopefully, somebody will now which 38 Special revolver will be similar to those listed.
I would appreciate any new info or correction, thanks.
