there is a little know fact that vets and some farmers are still allowed large calibre pistols for human dispatching of large animal when a rifle or shotgun can not easily be carried or used , but believe me the applying for one is a complicated and length process and the controls on them are very strict indeed , ammo is limited to 20 rounds both possess or purchase

Yes , I know a chap who has an unrestricted .357 (6 shot) revolver for humane dispatch whilst deer stalking, he limited to 20 round on that.

He also has a underlever rifle in .357 for which he is allowed to possess 500 rounds.

yeah winchester 94 ae funnily enough they also gave me the same allowance for .38spl too unheard of before in my shooting club

The all round preppers friend in my opinion. dual calibre, short & light weapon - also accurate with iron sites out to a decent range. magazine holds plenty and easy to reload your own & with minimal cost. Rugged & reliable and short enough for more confined space work and carry options. Ammo is small & light enough to carry plenty if necessary. Reaches far further & Punches a lot harder than the equivalent calibre pistol. Can be used for hunting, especially with light loads of the .38special. A good compromise general use weapon with little to fault for that fact.

Agree on utility of. 38 Special in a rifle. I think the closest thing in modern era to a rook rifle. Ordinary target wadcutters give very mild report and energy approximating +P fired from a revolver. The modern poacher's pet!

I loved mine....placed in the top 3 of our underlever comp everytime i entered....full elevation on iron sights out to 100m for .38 spl and same worked for .357 at 200m wish i still had it.

This is my old Winchester94 AE "Trailsend" 20 inch barrel 10+1 in .38 spl and 9+1 in .357 mag......this rifle and an S&W revolver in the same calibre would be awesome.

Not a tackdriver at these ranges but figure 11's no problem.
