38 special vs. 44 special

[AStone]

Certainly there are more effective rounds than the old round nose 38 police load.

Yep. 135 - 158 gr +P.

Me, I just like throwing something bigger.

Me, I remember that second law: f = ma.

Force = mass times acceleration.

It's not just about mass.
Acceleration magnifies mass.

And put a sharp edge on that leading edge,
and it'll cut through deep vessels.

Why, I'd say even a lowly .38 spl
clocking > 950/sec will ruin a predator's day ...

All in a small, light-weight controllable (*) package.

(* Controllable: I'll take a double tap over mass any day.)
