    .38 special HST?

    Has anyone seen/read any testing of the .38 special 130 gr. +P HST?

    I'm not even sure that's on the market yet. Could have sworn I'd seen second quarter 2017 on the release?

    FYI the .38 Special HST is now out in the wild. A little over $1.00 per round. I just ordered some from TSS Outfitters, Federal # P38HST1S. WikiArms shows that Bang It Arms also has it in stock.
    The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
    disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    They arrived. Hollow point very reminiscent of a reversed HBWC. Plus P. Pic follows:

    Dave, have you got any Winchester Ranger RA38B you can test and compare it to? Looking forward to your impressions on the new ammo.

    I do and will, but it will be a week or so before I get to the range.

    Look at the meplat on those suckers! Probably cuts better than a wadcutter even if it doesn't expand. Makes me want to get into .38spl. Hopefully Doc will do some tests with these.
