![]() So, I recently chronographed some 9MM Federal HST 124 grain +P, Federal Hydra-Shok 38 Spcl. Some of the Federal ammo seems to be highly regarded for duty/SD use, etc. I have sure learned to not try to predict what the results might be before actually chronographing this or that ammo through this or that gun. I know velocity and energy are not the whole story, but admit I've always been interested in such things. I agree too with that part about the auto being flatter, and perhaps a bit more comfortable to carry for some of us. His conclusions are consistent with my own humble experience. I was unfamiliar with this gentleman, but enjoyed what I thought was a Down-to-Earth and intelligent discussion of the subject. Just some food for thought, and your mileage may vary! The 17L, BTW, compares to a four-inch barreled revolver in the same way that the BHP compared to the three-incher, except that it weighs a lot less, and has the sight radius of a six-inch barreled wheelgun (and 17 rounds, to boot plus the performance advantage of a 9mm from a six-inch tube). 357 Magnum, but I think I'm better served with either my BHP or my Glock 17L for field use. I certainly wouldn't feel under-armed with any decent S&W revolver in. Some revolver shooters can run rings around the majority of auto shooters, but I believe most of us mortals will do better with an auto. The revolver is probably more mechanically accurate in SA fire, but most shooters will find the HP a better shooter in real-world scenarios. 357 loads, which are rough on your ears and hands. The only power advantage to the K-frame is with full. Browning and Saive knew what they were doing. The barrel is long enough to get decent power out of the 9mm and most loads fall midway between. Grips fit about any hand and the gun disappears inside a waistband. They are about the same weight, overall length and height, but the HP holds 13 rounds and has no cylinder bulge. When I first was offered a Browning High Power some years ago, someone on this forum posted a picture for me of a High Power next to a three-inch barreled K-frame S&W. I was generally a revolver guy, but gradually became a fan of the 9mm Parabellum. Not good either but not as bad as the 10. Bummed and disgusted with that I moved to the 642.ĥ) 642. shooting slow at 7 yards, in fact I never left the 7 yard line. ![]() In the 3rd target I had moved all the way back and was trying to see where the POI/POA was.Ĥ) 10-6 snub. The last target picture is both boxes of ammo.ģ) G23. And a picture of the target at that distance. ![]() Again, started at 7 The final target was at 12 yards. Second picture is from 15 yards.Ģ) G43 9mm. Just last week I did both semi auto and revolver side by side.ġ) Gen 2 Glock 17. However, for me, untill revolvers are made with big enough grips to comfortably hold and conceal they won't be a serious consideration for me. Nothing is a 100% and everything is a trade off. ![]()
