Yes, and that are not as accurate or configurable.

BANG!
Can't hang around long. We've been without power since 9:30 AM Friday morning. Bad storm. Internets are hit and miss. Running off generator. Gotta go.....

[deoetdoctrinae]

Whoops!.. Just realized you were looking for energy, not velocity. Sorry.

[umgud]

Hornady has that ammo in +p, but those stats are muzzle velocity.

I had a titanium snubbie in 357 (15oz?) and it was brutal, which is why I told dad he might want to look at 38 spl +p.

[mylife]

Daymn you Global Warming!
Good luck.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I’ve got a Scandium S&W 360, it weighs 12 ounces.

It’s a hand smacker with just .38 Special. I can’t imagine what a .357 would feel like much less .38+P...

[mylife]

I can imagine.
The airweight 38 special will make you wince.

[umgud]

Your 1st entry is standard 38 spl and gives muzzle energy. Your 2nd is for their critical defense ammo, but they only list velocity. Wonder what gives.

Maybe a better question si how to convince old dad the 38 spl +p is good enough for defense. All his current sd guns are 357 or 45’s.
