I love my suppressed 38 special Henry model x.
With the swfa 1-4 you can arch them in from way out.

I also like my AR9 build with CMMG delayed bolt.
Cheap subsonic fun with 147 grain bullets.

Screw blackout, IMO.
9mm is way cheaper and easier to reload.
223 does better at supersonic velocity.
No point in blackout.

I keep 38 subs handy when I don't want to piss off the neighbors dogs at night.

Really versatile little rig for the farm. You'll love it.


Is the Lil Gun load what you are running on coyotes? I'm not finding Lil Gun load data for 38 Special. Where did you source that load?

Is there a different bullet/powder combo that you like for smaller than deer sized critters?
