10 Truths About .38 Special Ammo Most Owners Never KnowTHE BENCH BOOK + 2 TOOLS → https://dylanbenett.com A woman named Linda Morrow fired her father's revolver at an indoor range last April, and one of the shots made almost no sound at all. Not a bang. A pop. Like a cap gun. The revolver barely moved in her hand. She is seventy-one. The revolver was a Smith and Wesson thirty-eight special, the one her father kept in the top drawer of his dresser for as long as she could remember. After he passed, she decided she was going to learn to shoot it properly. She had been taking lessons. She was getting good. That afternoon she had brought along a box of ammunition she found in his garage, in an old coffee can on the workbench. After that quiet little pop, she looked at the target. No new hole. She figured she had missed the paper entirely, the way you do when you are learning. So she settled her grip, lined up the sights again, and pulled the trigger. That shot was loud. Louder than any shot she had ever fired. The revolver jumped hard in her hand, and something about it felt wrong. She set it down on the bench and stepped back, and she did not pick it up again. Nobody was hurt. I want you to know that right now.
