The 38 wadcutters out of the M-10 felt like a 22. The 9mm HST was a little snappy out of the steel SP101 but easily controllable.
I found some old chrono data. All from a S&W 442.
38 special 135 grain short barrel +P Gold Dot. Ave 807 fps.
38 special Win 158 +P LSWCHP Ave 745 fps.
Fed 148 match wadcutters Ave 639 fps.
S&B 148 wadcutters Ave 518 fps.
The same day Fed AE9FP 147 went 949 fps from a Glock 17.
I'd be interested to see data with 9mm 147 HST from a 2 inch barrel revolver.
How would one of these be to throw an Acro on and run in a JM?
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Now my brain rabbit hole is wondering about 380 ACP ballistics out of a snub and whether TK could caliber change a Smith 340 to 380ACP instead of 9mm....
I noticed Taurus makes a 380 revolver... wondering about buying their moon clips and seeing if I can shoot 380 out of my LCR9 to chrono....
I am so curious...
Here’s a 380 round in a 9mm moon clip in an LCR9...
With the proper moon clip I can’t imagine it’d be worse than shooting 9mm out of a rechambered 357...

Following with interest.
Also I kinda wish I had not heard of these Korth things...
PS: I asked the 380 out of 9mm thing before:
