True Power of the .38 Special (More Powerful than a 9mm)

Just showing how powerful a .38 special actually is by using Buffalo Bore 158 gr LSWCHP .38 Special+P ammunition(FBI Load).

This load is the perfect solution looking for a problem. By the time this load was a thing, the .357 magnum was already invented.

Before y'all come at me telling me that a 9mm+P+ is more powerful than this load, let me remind you that the 9x19 +P+ is not an officially designated cartridge by SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Institute). Loads labeled +P+ or Magnum+P are not official cartridges and dangerously over-pressured. A single + such as 9mm+P, .38 special+P, .45 ACP+P and so on are indeed official cartridges, which the Buffalo Bore LSWCHP .38 spl+P is one of. In short, with official loadings of cartridges, this .38 special load is more powerful than any 9mm out there.
