Yeah, it's kind of like 40. Yeah. If you take a 40 and a 9mm and put them next to each other, they're almost the exact same size. Yeah. I don't think I've shot 10. I think it's... If I remember correctly, it's a little bit hotter. Basically, same size shell, but hotter load. I don't know. Personally, after going shooting on Saturday... With all my handguns.

And that was a 9, a 40, a 45, and a .357, which also shoots .38. I think my favorite of all of them was the .38.

Yeah, the .357 is so fun, but my wrist actually hurt. Oh, really? Yeah, because I wasn't expecting that much kick. Yep.

So here's the thing I did with the 357, though. We were wrapping up. We were almost done. I just had like... I think I had like four... I might have been loaded with 38 at the time. It doesn't matter because... You know, it's what happens when you pull the trigger, not what happens after the bullet leaves the barrel. I had like four rounds still in my revolver.

We had a man-sized target set up at 100 yards. And I'm like, I'm just going to give it a try. And my future brother-in-law is sitting at the table with the binoculars looking out at the target. So I pull back the hammer because it's just way easier to shoot those in single action. Double action is useful for when you've got to get an awful lot of shots quick.

Single action is a lot easier to aim because you're not fighting the weight of the trigger pull. It's basically a hair trigger. Yeah, it's like 8 pounds with the whole, right? Yeah, 10 on mine. But you've dry-fired my revolver both ways. You cock it and pull, it's... you barely touch it.

Yeah. A hundred percent. Um, so a hundred yards, 38 special in a 1972 era Smith and Wesson model 13. I hit not just like the middle of the target dead center. And Adam's like, no way. And I'm like, what? And he's like, you hit it center mass, like, like dead center of the target. And I'm like, No, I didn't. He goes, go look at it. So I run up. I hit that target dead center.

Like you can see the seams. I'm like literally on the middle, the middle seam. Yeah.

Uh, and they were like, don't even, don't even take another shot. Just, you need to take that target and keep it. And I was like, I'm going to incredible. Yeah. But, uh, no, I think 38 is probably one of my favorite to shoot. Uh, and the reason I like that revolver is because it also shoots three 57. So 38 is a good self-defense round. Uh, three 57 is a good Bush round.
