One of my favorite chapters in revolver history. I’m a big fan of the 38 Special and my favorite guns for it are the large frame revolvers. I have both a 4” HD and a 6.5” OD and they see a good bit of warm 38 loads. I generally don’t load them to the gills but I do have a couple loads that run 1050fps or so that I shoot all the time.
I’ve long been fascinated by all the different HiSpeed loads that were offered but it seems that they were largely overshadowed with the introduction of the “Magnum”. The old gun mags were so a flutter over the 357 for so long that the 38/44 was rarely mentioned.
