I have a Taurus 5 shot .38 snubby with a bobbed hammer basic sights but it puts 5 bullets in the same ragged hole at 10yds. I know they have a reputation, but it’s never done me wrong. The only thing is, the short barrel doesn’t allow for enough acceleration to reliably expand. Speer Gold dot performs though.
Scott never stop with the chronograph skit. Ik most comments don’t talk about it but it’s so iconic and funny. It’s part of what makes your channel so special
I’m at the point where though the table carnage has never been anything but funny … but the chronographs, they just irk me in some way that I can’t quite understand. I’m still amused, but it bothers me 😂 I don’t have any hard feelings towards the various Chipomatics though. I love those Trogdor looking things😅
Funny story. When I was but a young adult my friends husband took me shooting. He brought his 454 casull. And I did not have ear protection. Its been over 20 years I my ears ring 24/7. There have been many other contributing factors, because I never learned a lesson once, but please people, take care of your ears and your back.
I have to sleep with a fan on due to the ringing in my left ear caused by a Ruger blackhawk chambered in 357. Shot it without hearing protection back in 98 probably...it sucks but you kinda get used to it
That sucks. My ringing has lasted 11 years in my left ear. Yep. 24/7. Got it from angry ear infection. Greetings from Finland 🎉 P. S. Get an frequency generator app to your phone and match the volume and frequency in your ear ringing. It silences it pretty good, for as long as you apply the counter sound to your ear/ears.
A friend of mine says his ears are ringing for 47 years from a 44 magnum we shot at 17 years old. No one had ear protection, but I put my fingers in my ears. Lucky me
So refreshing to have a content provider who doesn't take himself too seriously yet provides great info without being boring. Here's to another great year of KB
The very first handgun I bought was a S&W 4" M686CM in 1988. It had the sweetest trigger of any firearm I ever owned and my dumbass let a friend talk me out of it in the early 90's. Never part with your first or it will haunt you forever.
@williamhalupka-yl5xv that's what got me into loving the .357 Magnum. Shooting my buddies Colt Python .357. It was his father's service revolver in the late 70's early 80's. Immediately after that camp trip of target shooting, I went to the local gun store to find a Colt Python. Then found out they were really hard to find. So I purchased a Ruger GP100 and 3" SP101 both. 357.
My first was the S&W 686 plus and your right I miss that gun mine ad the 6 inch barrel bought it at the pawnshop brand new for $680 and today your lucky to find them for just below a grand
I never could afford a Python way back when... 30 years later the price was out of hand at like $5k so when I retired my guys gave me a mint 1969 6 inch blue python. To say that they solved the 'what to get the guy..." would be an understatement All I have done to the gun is put a NOS patridge front sight and some nice wood grips that look similar but have some slight finger grooves and fit my hand better.
So,i've only been watching the channel for about a year so maybe I missed something,but at this point i'm starting to think that a chronograph once said something inappropriate about Scott's mother or something. I love this silly man 😁
9:00 it's a good thing you only load one round at a time when you do these, because if you watch the slow-mo the hammer on the gun slams twice, the first one was at the first initial Pull of the trigger and the second one was during recoil.
@modelcars2978 between the armory of weapons, education, intros, characters, sound effects and finding BIGGER & BADDER Boom-Sticks , Scott is an all around entertainer 😎👍
I was surprised the table, after abuse, was able to hold up Scott. They seem flimsy but perhaps only because Scott flings them like a skipping stone. :shrug:
No fancy setup, just Scott shooting lots of big bore pistols and having a blast. Gotta love the fact the he missed the rooster with the table (couldn't do it again if he tried) and takes it down with the ballistic gel. I as actually hoping for a montage of chronographs meeting an unfortunate end...maybe next time! Funny and fun vid as always!!!
8:24 OK, that got me😂 😂 I've watched quite a few videos, but I gotta admit, this is the moment that's making me subscribe. Just keep it fun and about guns, and I'll stay a subscriber.
I LOVE my Smith&W 442 Airweight; I couldn't believe how accurate it is when I first shot it and it's so easy to carry as a backup to a full sized gun! Have a safe and happy new year Scott!
Back to your roots, I love it. Been watching since pine boards and bowling balls. I remember almost all of those guns. I love that red hawk in 454. It is beautiful
Had the 500 smith and wesson, ended up selling it and buying the smith and wesson 460. I like that with the 460 I can shoot three different caliber in it. The 45 long colt, the 454 cassule and the 460 magnum. Much more versatile gun in my opinion.
I have a 460s&w 7.5, love it Yes its heavy and I like it heavy , makes 45colt feel like .22 Unfortunately you can never shoot a 460 without ear pro, the sound is like nothing I've experienced, crazy loud even with double ear protection. The shockwave tapping your nose is nuts too. Also ruins shooting plates as it blows holes through it, something to keep in mind at a friend's place using metal targets
In the .327 Federal magnum, you can also fire: .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R magnum. .32acp is hit and miss, not recommended. In the .357 magnum, you cal also fire: 38 Short Colt, 38 Long Colt, 38 Special. In the .44 magnum, you can also fire: .44 Russian, .44 Special. In the .460 S&W magnum, you can also fire: .45 Cowboy Special, .45 Schofield, .45 Colt, .454 Casull. In a strong .45 cal semi-auto action, you can also fire: 45acp, 45 Super, 450 SMC In a .410 shotshell revolver, you can also fire: .45 Cowboy Special, .45 Schofield, .45 Colt.
I’ve always been a fan of the ~4.5” “quick draw” barrels for the all purpose revolvers and I’m glad there’s yet another video helping me prove my reasoning.
I got that same ruger super redhawk Alaskan , I've had it since it first came out .... shot 12 rounds through it, 454 ammo is $38 for 20 rounds , now it just sits in my safe wrapped in a beanie
@@mr.c1580I shoot at least 10 rounds our of my twice a week. Reloading is much cheaper, and I have quite a few large calipers that make it worth doing.
I've always seen the .454 as an under appreciated power house of a round. That's why it's my first pick of all the big revolver rounds. Keep up the amazingly amusing work you do on this channel Scott, and have a blessed new year.
If your going with a Ruger yea, 454 is very nice, The Alaskan snub is super cool looking. Unfortunately the Recoil is hell. Now if you want to have more power and be comfortable. 460xvr is alot better, the weight and muzzle break makes it nice to shoot all day. Just need 2x ear pro Shooting 454 with no ports snub is not fun after a cylinder. Hands hurts
@@cuda6872 300gr does about 2000 fps in the Rossi R92 and it holds 9 rounds. Light and handy (and kicks!). Big Horn Armory has lever actions for most of the pistol caliber powerhouses, but they are very expensive rifles. .45 Colt, .454 Casull, .460 S&W mag, .475 Linebaugh, .500 S&W mag, .500 Linebaugh. Rather than a .460 Lever action, I'd go .45-70 as there's such an abundance of .458 bullets (and brass) much heavier than .452 bullets. Winchester also still makes new .45-90 rifles for another 250 fps over typical .45-70 loads. Starline makes .45-90 brass. Rather than a .44 mag lever action I'd find a .444 Marlin somewhere. It's like a SuperMag version of a hot .44mag, case being nearly 1 inch longer and runs higher pressure. The 454 Casull lever action makes a lot of sense, as you can fire .45 Colt which is already more than enough for most things. Finally the 500 S&W mag out of a lever would be fantastic.
Awesome as always Scott! As for the snubs doing great with penetration, it makes sense, being the longer barrels keeping up the velocity higher better mushrooming, shorter barrels losing velocity some, keeping the projectile from fully expanding therefore penetrating deeper than expected, very cool!
I hope this was even more fun than this was to watch! Loved the extra chaotic energy despite the incredibly intriguing/educational content in this one. 😂 Have a happy new year, Scott! 🎉🎉
10:00 makes perfect sense, that raging judge is chambered to accept a 410 which is much longer than 454. So you have more wasted powder burn escaping while the bullet makes the jump from the cylinder to the forcing cone of the barrel.
Thank you, Scott, for inspiring me. Because of you, I am now a very happy and proud owner of a Taurus Raging Hunter 500 magnum with an 8in barrel. It has now taken the place of my Henry Golden Boy 44 mag as my favorite gun.
The best thing about these videos is knowing that Scott, is in fact, stone cold sober all the way through! It's also reassuring to know where he is. For the same reason. Happy New Year, and hang on tight guys!
Holy sshiettt! Almost 5m?!! I remember your OG stretch Armstrong videos and knew you were different. Very entertaining and smart dude. Glad you alive after the .50cal incident too. Stay badass!
On the 454 casull test, note that the raging judge has a longer cylinder length to the forcing cone (to accommodate 410 shot shells) and may cause a decrease in overall pressure as the round jumps through the cylinder. Awesome video as usual!
Hey Scott, that was cool. I've never fired a snub nose of any kind, I do believe I'm missing out!! Have a great new year, and I'm looking forward to what you have in store for 2025!! Thank you Scott, be safe brother!!
Scott, based on your love of unique and high recoiling weapons - this is a must own for you. On TH-cam, Cam Engineering "I made the World's most powerful handheld slingshot" This fires a larger diameter and heavier ball than your Punt Gun.
Good ol Scotty never disappoints. There was so much gel, I was like man i wish he bites into a block, and then he did. Also the way hes sitting low, 8 tried that, felt like my feet were gonna snap off.
Cool work, When I was in Army MI I was assigned a S&W 38 Snub nose and I found I really could hit the broadside of a Barn every time! But i could also do the same with rocks. Keep up the great videos.
Im impressed, that snub .454 casull outdid the long barrel, but seems over .44 magnum at point blank the differences is gonna negligible lol, all them big rounds gonna hurt
Good morning. You sir have got to be the most entertaining guy on you tube. It’s also a big plus that the content is valid and informative. Carry on and have a great day
I have a 38 special snub nose my grandfather gave me from Brazil. I honestly encourage anyone who has a spouse who doesn't have weapon experience and also wants home defense, to get a revolver. ANYONE can fire a revolver. If you can't save yourself in five shots, you might not have a chance. Revolvers don't have slides, magazines or complicated parts. Sadly a 4 year old can fire a revolver (so folks, be smart about where you keep it) but ANYONE can utilize a revolver. HUGE Fan of revolvers
Revolvers suck for beginners because they have a lot of recoil and the triggers are heavy making them less accurate for an unskilled shooter. They turn off many beginners. Recommending them to beginners is pure fud stuff
@ for you and me sure. Take a woman who has never shot before and hand them a j frame. THAT’S supposed to get them excited and more into this?! Yeah… get real.
Scott crouching on top of the table shaking a stick at the targets made my late grandmother proud! BTW, anyone notice the similarities between the hair of "Crystal" and "Scooter" in that intro? Did Scooter go trans? 2024 was a f*ed up year, ya never know!
OH WOW!!!! Been a REALLY long time since we saw a Super Red Hawk! last time i remember seeing one was in your archive when you cracked the handle in your Super Red Hawk Alaskan! You said you were gonna get it repaired! but i either missed that video or you never brought it back onto the channel! yuusta bes one of your fave lil handguns. back when you were still shooting rock salt, stretch armstrongs, and Vac-mans on that old plyboard workbench in your back yard... simpler times. I keep saying you needsa get some rock salt blocks. I seem tto remember you didnt even have your first safari rifle yet. that we knew of. Arent you curious what all you newer larger calibers would do? i would bet the explosion of powderized salt would be bigger, flashier, and more visible than those colored smoke targets marketed and sold specifically as target for guns with extra flashiness.. though on the flip sie, those lil underperforming smoke targets dont cost 70 to a hundred bucks a pop. they were fifty or sixty when you WERE buying them for the channel. EDIT! OOH! OHH! OHH! THERES THE ALSKAN!!!!!
4 Gauge salt rounds... that is what popped into my mind reading this. Still, those big salt rocks being hit by the Punt Gun in a Slow Mo guys collab would be a thing to see.
@widgren87 Yesh! Bring out the big bois! .416 Rigby (The HoneyBadger) .577 Tyrannasaur, .500 - .700 nitro, 4 bore, the one that can only be fired fom the table thing with the really wide flat rest tgat i forget the name of, and "Fury" the punt gun. Lol. Throw a .50 BMG 8n there as a control as most people have at least seen that fired thanks to DemoDemo and Aikay Broskie!
This is, and I mean, REALLY a great episode, I learned science stuff, that is really interesting. Thank you so much Scott and team KentBall's Appreciate all the effort ! 😎👍
He's making the point that chrono is meaningless data versus observed performance. For the average shooter, chrono is important for evaluating the consistency of your hand loading skills. That's it. Long range competition shooters need chrono data to evaluate loads. Nobody else needs it.
This video really makes me miss my .38 special black on black snub nose. She was such a beautiful gun. Hard times came and went and took my gun with them
You are correct. The first clue that it wasn't a 686 was that it wasn't stainless. S&W model numbering convention is that numbers beginning with 6 are stainless. The second clue was that it holds 8 rounds. The 686 is an L Frame, and the chamber walls would get too thin squeezing 8 rounds into an L Frame cylinder, even with the cylinder being titanium. It is certainly a Model 327.
What is your favorite snub nose? I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
500 S&W always the best
500 S&W has always been my favorite, i absolutely love it
Happy New Year bro!!!
I have a Taurus 5 shot .38 snubby with a bobbed hammer basic sights but it puts 5 bullets in the same ragged hole at 10yds.

JDJ 950 revolver has more power
I loved that he said, "We are going to start with a "smaller caliber"......."...and then his first gun is .357 Magnum.
"Thats a Spicy Meataball!!!"
For this channel, .357 Magnum is on the small side.
😂🤣
When he said smallish, I expected 44 or higher, and that he might bring out snubnose Thompson performance center elephant guns
.357 is 9.1mm in diameter, that pretty small. Imo
Scott never stop with the chronograph skit. Ik most comments don’t talk about it but it’s so iconic and funny. It’s part of what makes your channel so special
It was pretty funny
The chrono exits the chipper at approximately 3000 ft. per sec.
The ATF Director resigned........ Just wanted to spread some good cheer. Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!!!
He had to clean out Brandon's new office. 🤫
So does that mean that Brandon got the job?
@@Legatus2kx We can hope
Será o efeito Trump?
Best news I’ve heard all day 👍
8:18 Ok, as a drummer, that shot being on beat was insanely satisfying 😂
I saw a comment that described this channel as "If 90s Nickelodeon had a show about guns" and it really fits too perfectly.
It's amazing to see how much power calibers like .500 S&W and .454 Casull can deliver even in a shorter barrel.
When you have a supersonic 50 caliber pill, expansion is optional.
Petition to have a busted chronograph pile next to the busted table pile
❤😂
I don't know why Scott has issues with chronographs lol
@@ETC_Rohaly_USCGI think he only destroys the ones that stopped working, though I could be wrong
he should tape some of them together into a table abomination
It'd be a pile of plastic mulch lol
I’m at the point where though the table carnage has never been anything but funny … but the chronographs, they just irk me in some way that I can’t quite understand. I’m still amused, but it bothers me 😂 I don’t have any hard feelings towards the various Chipomatics though. I love those Trogdor looking things😅
Funny story. When I was but a young adult my friends husband took me shooting. He brought his 454 casull. And I did not have ear protection. Its been over 20 years I my ears ring 24/7. There have been many other contributing factors, because I never learned a lesson once, but please people, take care of your ears and your back.
I believe that's called tinnitus lol
I have to sleep with a fan on due to the ringing in my left ear caused by a Ruger blackhawk chambered in 357. Shot it without hearing protection back in 98 probably...it sucks but you kinda get used to it
That sucks.
My ringing has lasted 11 years in my left ear.
Yep. 24/7.
Got it from angry ear infection.
Greetings from Finland 🎉
P. S. Get an frequency generator app to your phone and match the volume and frequency in your ear ringing.
It silences it pretty good, for as long as you apply the counter sound to your ear/ears.

Same here. I'm afraid to ask at this point.
Legend has it one time a chronograph said his mother was a hamster, and his father smelled of elderberries.
@@alexp974What if the chronograph was in the shape of a giant wooden badger?
I believe it’s because he has accidentally destroyed them so many times that he just does it on purpose now lol.
Some say Scott was attacked in his bed as a small child by a wild gang of chronographs seeking blood....
When I was a kid I had the EXACT same trailer-camper, felt oddly nostalgic seeing it in a Kentucky Ballistics video.

Omg thank you for using different gel blocks for different rounds.. the only gun youtuber to do it.
I was thinking the same thing.
One of the few that can afford it.
It helps when you are sponsored by the people that make the blocks.
That was more gel blocks that if purchased, would cost more than I make in a week. Nice to have a sponsor!
He could have melted the same two blocks down and shot this video over a week or so.... what am I saying of course that didn't happen.

About $2 a round with tax. Not very range friendly.
Gonna save the other 2 boxes for the apocalypse , never know if bears might crawl out of the seven seals

It's also reassuring to know where he is. For the same reason.
Happy New Year, and hang on tight guys!
As opposed to who?
Holy sshiettt! Almost 5m?!! I remember your OG stretch Armstrong videos and knew you were different. Very entertaining and smart dude. Glad you alive after the .50cal incident too. Stay badass!
460 for me. I love that caliber. I have the 8 3.8 in barrel one great gun great video Scott, keep them coming 👍
Scott You'r content is always something to see
Love those revolvers!! Happy New Year, Scott!
On the 454 casull test, note that the raging judge has a longer cylinder length to the forcing cone (to accommodate 410 shot shells) and may cause a decrease in overall pressure as the round jumps through the cylinder.
Awesome video as usual!
🎉🎉
Scott, you were the first gun tuber I ever discovered since I turned 21. You got me to buy myself a 500 magnum S&W
Hey Scott, that was cool. I've never fired a snub nose of any kind, I do believe I'm missing out!! Have a great new year, and I'm looking forward to what you have in store for 2025!! Thank you Scott, be safe brother!!
Kentucky Ballistics Happy New Year Scott, health to you and your family
Scott, based on your love of unique and high recoiling weapons - this is a must own for you. On TH-cam, Cam Engineering "I made the World's most powerful handheld slingshot" This fires a larger diameter and heavier ball than your Punt Gun.
This was so cool and lots of fun to watch. Thank you 🎉
Good ol Scotty never disappoints.
There was so much gel, I was like man i wish he bites into a block, and then he did.
Also the way hes sitting low, 8 tried that, felt like my feet were gonna snap off.
YAYYYY!!!!! NEW VIDEOOO!!!! Love ya Scott!
I love watching your videos. You are a smart man. Keep up the work.
What a child.....that's why I'm here! Keep having fun Scott!!
Cool work, When I was in Army MI I was assigned a S&W 38 Snub nose and I found I really could hit the broadside of a Barn every time! But i could also do the same with rocks. Keep up the great videos.
Love your comedy shooting show, Scott!!!🤣😅👍
That twist the 454 created in the wound cavity is nuts, that's a big And heavy round to go that far in,
5:29 27 inches, not bad, perfectly average
Erm actually it was at 5:25
Well, I stand corrected, give yourself a pat on the back
2:40 best chronograph execution yet 😂
He looked like he was actually going to use that one too. What a shame he tripped like that 😂😂
Revolvers are my favorite. A grand finale to the year. Thanks Scott. Happy New Year.👏🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻🇧🇷
I'm a Bigbore FREAK, so my favorite caliber is all of them. But I'm with you Scott, I love the Smith and Wesson 500. Love your channel man.
Not the balloon popping😂
Happy new year Scott.
Thanks Scott! Awesome vid. Been carrying a S&W 442 for years, never "usually" feel under-gunned. Most comfortable CCW I've ever owned.
As soon as I seen the chronograph I knew it was a goner❤😂
One of my favorite videos you have done! I love when you have fun!
Always chuckle. Already subbed. I could only dream of shooting on the range. Happy New Year Mr. Scott
Im impressed, that snub .454 casull outdid the long barrel, but seems over .44 magnum at point blank the differences is gonna negligible lol, all them big rounds gonna hurt
It outdid it because he’s using hollow points. The snubs are lower velo so they aren’t getting proper expansion.
@@CoconutMigratingwould be nice to see this test with hard cast rounds with more things to shoot to see the penetration, something for bears.
@@thewanderer4336hard cast would be a better test
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Kentucky Ballistics!.
Merry Christmas %happy New Yey Year to you.
12:42 best KB clip ever 🤣
I rewatched that part like 5 times 😭
Good morning. You sir have got to be the most entertaining guy on you tube. It’s also a big plus that the content is valid and informative. Carry on and have a great day
Have a blessed new year, Scott - thanks for all you do.
My favourite sub nose is a pug, they may look peculiar but they're entertaining
im worried about Dubbyah - i think he needs a hug
I have a 38 special snub nose my grandfather gave me from Brazil. I honestly encourage anyone who has a spouse who doesn't have weapon experience and also wants home defense, to get a revolver. ANYONE can fire a revolver. If you can't save yourself in five shots, you might not have a chance.
Revolvers don't have slides, magazines or complicated parts. Sadly a 4 year old can fire a revolver (so folks, be smart about where you keep it) but ANYONE can utilize a revolver.
HUGE Fan of revolvers
Revolvers are a pain to clean and reload times take longer. I got a 22 mag and a 460 mag revolver only cause of the size and powah!
Revolvers suck for beginners because they have a lot of recoil and the triggers are heavy making them less accurate for an unskilled shooter. They turn off many beginners. Recommending them to beginners is pure fud stuff
@@SamplersAndThings38 special has very little recoil
@ for you and me sure. Take a woman who has never shot before and hand them a j frame. THAT’S supposed to get them excited and more into this?! Yeah… get real.
The first time I've ever seen a revolver recommended for home defense for the ladies... A kitted out AR is still the superior choice for any scenario.
This guy is awesome! I just love his channel 😊
This is peak comedy. Thank you for your effort. Thank you Scott and happy new year
Scott crouching on top of the table shaking a stick at the targets made my late grandmother proud!
BTW, anyone notice the similarities between the hair of "Crystal" and "Scooter" in that intro? Did Scooter go trans? 2024 was a f*ed up year, ya never know!
OH WOW!!!! Been a REALLY long time since we saw a Super Red Hawk! last time i remember seeing one was in your archive when you cracked the handle in your Super Red Hawk Alaskan! You said you were gonna get it repaired! but i either missed that video or you never brought it back onto the channel! yuusta bes one of your fave lil handguns. back when you were still shooting rock salt, stretch armstrongs, and Vac-mans on that old plyboard workbench in your back yard... simpler times. I keep saying you needsa get some rock salt blocks.
I seem tto remember you didnt even have your first safari rifle yet. that we knew of. Arent you curious what all you newer larger calibers would do? i would bet the explosion of powderized salt would be bigger, flashier, and more visible than those colored smoke targets marketed and sold specifically as target for guns with extra flashiness.. though on the flip sie, those lil underperforming smoke targets dont cost 70 to a hundred bucks a pop. they were fifty or sixty when you WERE buying them for the channel.
EDIT! OOH! OHH! OHH! THERES THE ALSKAN!!!!!
4 Gauge salt rounds... that is what popped into my mind reading this. Still, those big salt rocks being hit by the Punt Gun in a Slow Mo guys collab would be a thing to see.
@widgren87 Yesh! Bring out the big bois! .416 Rigby (The HoneyBadger) .577 Tyrannasaur, .500 - .700 nitro, 4 bore, the one that can only be fired fom the table thing with the really wide flat rest tgat i forget the name of, and "Fury" the punt gun. Lol. Throw a .50 BMG 8n there as a control as most people have at least seen that fired thanks to DemoDemo and Aikay Broskie!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Kentucky Ballistics!
This is, and I mean, REALLY a great episode, I learned science stuff, that is really interesting. Thank you so much Scott and team KentBall's
Appreciate all the effort !
😎👍
Idk why he always destroys the chronograph everytime but it’s hilarious. Never change Scott
He's making the point that chrono is meaningless data versus observed performance. For the average shooter, chrono is important for evaluating the consistency of your hand loading skills. That's it.
Long range competition shooters need chrono data to evaluate loads. Nobody else needs it.
World’s strongest snub nose? No. World’s largest and most powerful elephant rifle… exploding
4:23 ...said no woman ever
😂😂😂
00:36 Dang Scott! You just ruined 30 cents of cosmetic surgery. 😅
Amazing video
This video really makes me miss my .38 special black on black snub nose. She was such a beautiful gun. Hard times came and went and took my gun with them
3:50 S&W 327 Performance Center. 8 round N frame .357/.38 First time I have seen Scott not know the gun he is talking about.
Yeah I'm pretty sure he couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag.
@@joshuagibson2520it's "fight his way out of a wet paper bag" and wtf are you talking about?
@@imjustaguy8232 no, I absolutely meant find.
Probably just mispoke on the model number (especially after firing the 686), Scott did do a video dedicated to that firearm 4 years ago.
@@JollyFigNut he did it on his previous video with this pistol. I don’t think he knows it’s a performance center 327.
I believe that's the 327 Model S&W 357 snubby, not the 686.
You are correct. The first clue that it wasn't a 686 was that it wasn't stainless. S&W model numbering convention is that numbers beginning with 6 are stainless. The second clue was that it holds 8 rounds. The 686 is an L Frame, and the chamber walls would get too thin squeezing 8 rounds into an L Frame cylinder, even with the cylinder being titanium.
It is certainly a Model 327.
I want some Oreos
Scraped over some chunky peanut butter
Omg same!!!
I love your videos man, I've been watching since I was 4 maybe 5, but I originally watched it on my grandmas tablet, keep up the good work!
Great video Scott !!! Happy New Years to you and your family!!!
