Out to 7 or 8 yards it will hit center mass, more or less , each time
My point isn't that pinpoint accuracy is needed, but center mass
more or less, especially the
less part is not what I want if attacked. From my experience with the Cobra 38Spcl. I have is that if being attacked first there is cocking the hammer. Not the easiest hammer to clock. Second a
very stiff trigger pull that, on mine at least, takes some special attention to be able to break at all. Third, when it does go off, at much over bad breath range it is a carp shoot weather it will hit anything on an attacker that would stop the threat. Then, as a #4 reason, if it
doesn't stop the threat, we're back to the whole cocking a stiff hammer, pulling a stiff, and tricky hammer, and hopefully getting a bullet to an area that will stop the attacker.
Like I said, great fun to play with on the range, but very poor choice for self defense.
For the same 14 ounces, and less than an inch increased length I can have 6+1 rounds of
accurate, easier to shoot, 9MM+P in my Kahr CM9.
Then blowing two 1/2 inch holes
BTW, when did they increase the bore size of the 38 Spcl from .357 to .50?
