Hey everyone, At 12:20 I said the difference in weight was 72 grains. It's really 52. I successfully completed first grade math. This is one of those manifestations of my speech impediment that I mention occasionally. Usually we catch these things in post production. this time we missed it.
84' is a year for good wine.
Paul your consistency, thoroughness, and repetitive nature pleases my Autism.
Paul, the camera angle at the begining of this video for some reason makes your legs look really short! Haha, another great video!
Kenneth Copeland will forgive you with the same power that he healed us all of COVID-19. th-cam.com/video/OSIrQBGfUtw/w-d-xo.html
Dorf talking guns
Imagine being a TH-camr that actually listens to his fans, is a professional at what he does, and has good humor while doing it.
I think Paul is hilarious.
Military and ex-military people have a certain sense of humour.
I'm neither but I have it too.
@@briankerr4512 same
I see nothing wrong with his capt kirkess ways, lotta good info. Ive made purchase's due to cal. Vids
And his fanbase doesn’t fucking hate him.
Somewhere out there is a confused supermarket clerk, wondering how this guy stays buff living on a diet of soda, ribs and oranges.
Paul Harrell probably has owns a Party Revolver and works in a Butchers Shop o.o In other words, its Paul don't Question It. O.o
Mate. This is officialy my favourite TH-cam comment, for this year. Well done!
The clerk can take comfort that Paul in a robbery, can point out the guilty Pork Ribs in a line up. :^)
@George Nelson he doesn't waste them, he feeds his dogs with them.
LOL
This guy is an anomaly. He never misses a beat. There arent any "uh's" nor any pauses. And he seems to be citing all the information naturally and spontaneously. Impressive.....
I've been checking some other youtube gun channels, very few are even close to Paul. The number of One Small Step Above Complete Amateur channels is amazing, as is the number of times one person can say "uh" in 10 minutes.
I'm thinking Paul is the most knowledgeable person about guns on TH-cam.
Yeah, he does some of the very best analysis of all. Some people like to talk about history of particular firearms while illustrating the shooting of them, and that can be enjoyable, but when it comes to testing and analysis to show first hand what firearms and loads really do, this is THE channel
@@TheSulross I agree. I think Ian might know a little bit more about guns, but Paul is far better at demonstrating the practicality or effectiveness of some of those guns. And he uses consistent methods of experimentation which is always a plus. So I think Paul is more knowledgeable about how some guns compare to other guns but Ian knows things more along the lines of production and how those firearms came to be.
@@TheSulross at least that's what I've seen so far. I could be completely wrong and maybe Paul has is just as knowledgeable lol
There's this one fellow on here who already knows ALL about guns and doesn't even have to shoot them. His name is an anagram of "Seek Harm Anally."
@@evin98 ?
"That is a very impressive inch and a half..." I hear that all the time.
Funny!!!
Best comment so far.
Great one. Maybe even a great one-and-a-half.
Gun guys and wiener jokes. Way to be a stereotype....
skydiverMN It may be short. But it’s skinny.
I prefer the long an tedious nerdy details. To me that's quality content.
I've been saying this for YEARS!
Hell yeah 😁 I agree with you
That’s right.
Same
Anyone that thinks any of Paul's presentations are long and/or tedious can go elsewhere. I hear that Caleb guy needs some friends...
Paul Harrell: let me tell you an anecdote
Me: *happiness noise*
Love the “timber” part when shooting one of the .44 Magnum rounds. It’s like Hickok45 shooting down a Christmas tree during the holiday season. Never gets old.
_"No matter what we do, we're going to get a lot of hate mail."_
Welcome to the internet. 😜
Doesnt surprise me one bit.
Whats hilarious is that the type of people who continually write hate mail are usually losers in real life, because they have nothing better to do with their lives.
Reminds me of the song "Garden party"
You see it's all right now/I've learned my lesson well/you see you can't please everyone/so you gotta please yourself.
@@TheKingcougar - Isn't it ironic how the bottom-feeders are always the staunchest critics?
@@th3mous380 lol...Yeah, Ricky 👍
Shoots down a tree....”timber”....keeps shooting. This is why I love Paul “I don’t always shoot down a tree but when I do I keep shooting.” Harrell
5:52 that was great, without missing a beat
..... JUST GOT TO THAT PART, joy!
I remember accidentally shooting my uncles apple tree down years ago at the family farm. Just regular old 45 ball. I remember feeling so bad. Uncle finally finds the tree and I kid you not, the only thing he said to me with a smile on his face was "did you say timber"
I love that man.
Derp.
I had to go back, I heard him say timber but was watching him and literally missed the man killing a tree.
Arthur Morgan would be proud of how Paul worked those lever guns.
The .44 Magnum carbine is clearly the more powerful gun and the one I would choose if I were to have only one gun in the caliber. The advantage to the .357 Magnum carbine is that the cartridge is small enough to be paired with a revolver small enough to be practical carry gun. A .44 Magnum revolver that is both durable and controllable will be too big for most to use as a carry gun.
Old comment, but I have to agree. Especially on a budget and during an (artificially created?) ammo shortage, I like having one caliber that can fit my concealed carry, survival gun and hunting rifle - the option of substituting .38 is even more useful in this situation. So, for me, it's .357 (snubby, revolver, repeating rifle). All I have and (hopefully) all I'll ever need. Also, Paul Harrell is awesome!
There’s a reason I haven’t ever bought a holster for my Dan Wesson 744 with a full lug 8” barrel. It’s big fun to shoot and built like a tank. It also weighs almost as much as a tank 😜
Another "advantage" to the .357 carbien is the ability to run .38 specials for small game. My Rossi home dfense lever trapper version is loaded with 10 .38 specials so I don't blow my ears off if I have to fire indoors. I think 10 .38s will do the job. This same gun can become my camping gun by filling it with "bear loads" .357 mag 180g from HSM. Very satisfied with this flexibility.
You can use both for carry with the right shoulder holster.
Particularly a vertical shoulder holster.
Both come in 3" barrels too.
You will need to use a jacket though. Maybe not the best for really hot weather.
Unless you are wearing seersucker clothing.
Hardly anyone is carrying .357 revolvers for personal protection these days. 44 is definitely the way to go if you were to only have one lever caliber if using for hunting, SHTF scenarios or personal defense. If just using for fun plinking then .357 for it’s cheap ability in using .38 specials.
Random guy at the range: "Damn! It's raining again!" Paul: "Quick! Grab the cameras, we're gonna shoot another video!"
Doesn't that go for most people and any activity? I know of a guy who has a car but rides his motorcycle year round and in all kinds of bad weather. He's a personal role model of mine...
To be fair, he lives in Oregon.
Jason Knox Pacific Northwest. It rains. A lot.
For people who spend a lot of time outside rain or shine, rain stops being a deterrent. Of course dental hygienists aren't really outdoor people.
I suppose it helps if you don't have to wear glasses like I do. I know how much it rains up there... I was stationed in the
Puget Sound area for several years back in the '70s. Please note that my original comment was not a complaint but was meant to be humorous....
Thank you Paul. Just picked up a Henry 357 lever.
how do you like it so far?
One of my favorite PH vids. Stating so for the algorithm.
“This meat target wasn’t wearing a t-shirt; animals rarely do.” 🤣😂. Well, usually just one animal.
As seen on an old "Top Gear" T-shirt label: These t-shirts were tested on animals; they didn't fit.
🐵
MattInTheHat: Yup, two legged predators *_often appear in clothing_*
Like Donald Duck. Pantsless, and vicious predator.
Hunting the most dangerous game there is - Winnie the Pooh.
5:47 is the 44 magnum in a carbine effective against pacific northwest coniferous plant life? You be the judge.
Got to respect the cartridge...kills anything walking on the North/South American continents...and pretty much whatever is just standing too.
"Timber" said Paul in an understated, off-hand manner after chopping down a tree with bullets.
LOVE this guy!!!
I’ve only recently started watching this channel, and honestly I have no idea why I hadn’t been watching it more before now. I’ve been binge watching the heck out of it for the last couple of weeks, and it seems like it’s gained around 20k new subscribers in that time so obviously I’m not the only one that has done that. I’ve watched various other gun channels over the last 6 or so years (most of which I’ve quit watching) and this is by far the most informative while simultaneously entertaining channel I’ve seen yet. I might be late to the party, but I’m catching up. Thanks
Might wanna cheak out forgotten weapons and in range if you like this kinda thing also mark and sam after work they do insane long range shooting
Welcome to the family sir!!
Welcome
Not to be a hipster, if those even exist anymore, but I really have been watching Paul Harrell since he's only had 50k subscribers. It feels so good to see Paul get the attention and respect he deserves. Hardest working guy in the TH-cam gun community.
Also, welcome to the club!
I just found these videos today, I'm very impressed. I'm a USMC combat veteran and your way of providing information is very reminiscent to the classes we used to get. Your videos all seem well planned out ahead of time, your manner of speaking is no nonsense straight to the point, you also let your experience speak for itself when you need to. I find these videos pretty therapeutic, surprisingly. Keep up the great work I look forward to your videos in the future. +1 Sub, and for you I'm actually hitting the bell icon haha.
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇲
Uncle Paul is treasure and I trust his tests and personal evaluations over anyone else.
Semper Fidelis!
Thank you for your service sir!
I believe Paul is a former USMC pistol instructor. It’s possible your classes were reminiscent of Paul’s videos because Paul may have written your curriculum.
Paul, the kinda dude that doesn't hurt his hand hitting the ejector rod, haha
Doesn't hurt his?
Hey buddy, do you need a “hand”?
@@guysevedz3581 haha, now I see it
I think I've said this. Caleb is a talented shooter, and a fucking idiot. It is too bad he came after Paul for no reason. I guess he was aiming for his foot, 50/50 all six rounds bullseye, in less than 14 minutes. That's impressive considering the pain involved.
Strangely, neither do the rest of us.....
“Very impressive inch and a half of barrel”
If I had a nickel
I went there too.
I was quite impressed by Paul's shot placement for the chronograph... he cut down a tree and continued to put rounds into the stump... a small tree at that ...
Wow, I missed that. Was wondering what the heck he meant by “timber” 🤦🏼♂️
Don't ever let anyone tell you these videos are tedious. All the extreme level of detail is why I subscribe in the first place. The explanations on this channel are always clear, precise and accurate and they don't leave a ton of information out like nearly every other channel. There's a lot of fun shooting channels that are just about watching stuff blow up and seeing ridiculous guns, but almost none that cover information so in depth like this one.
Paul. I'm from the UK, not anti-gun but not familiar with them either. I caught you videos back in the day when you were making videos about going through log cabins, I was interested in terms of wild west / cowboy movies. I've seen you go from 30k subs to nearly half a million, and doubtless beyond. THE NERDY DETAILS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR ME. The caveats, the history, the alsos and exceptions, they have taught me as much about firearms as the material you wanted to present. You're amazing at this, thank you.
I'm with you!
I agree, I like that stuff too.
Darth KEK, I'm from the deep southeastern US, am an avid gun collector, shooter, former firearms instructor and I, too love the nerdy details! ;) There's really something for all of us on this channel, isn't there? Big, friendly wave from across the Atlantic.
I'm from the UK and used to own a Ruger .357 magnum, and I love the detail!
@@jabezhane You can own both rifles featured in this video in the UK. You just need landowner's permission. Or go to a range. The UK has a surprisingly large number. No need to pretend!
No One: You cant chop down a tree with a gun
Paul: Hold my chronograph
Timber.
My father was a paratrooper in WWII, he told me stories of at the end when the Germans were surrendering, they would put the guns in a pile as they walked by. Dad said after things settled that people would grab the guns and shoot one after another at a tree until it went down, so you CAN take a tree down with guns.
Just really wanted to make sure that tree stayed down lol
Yeah, I got a good laugh out of that. Back in 1991, I bought a new Marlin 1895 SS 45-70. I picked up a box of Winchester factory ammo 300 grain hollow point to test it out. I put a target on a pine tree my father had knocked down on his property only a week or so before, a foot or better in diameter. I put 10 rounds thru that target at 25 yards. When I took the target down, those 10 rounds had chewed halfway thru the trunk. After that, I told my father "If you can't stop something with 5 rounds from this gun, you better call in an airstrike".
@@mitchelloates9406 wow, you better need to know what's not only behind someone when shooting that, but what's behind What's behind that someone to shoot behind (kinda like deagle owners say they can fire someone hiding on a fridge on their neighbor's house)
I bought my 10 year old daughter a Henry 357 lever gun for deer hunting- she loves it. This video helped me decide on it being adequate for whitetail. It shoots very impressive groups with 158 grain factory loads. - thank you sir for your very informative videos. - God Bless-
I’d have liked to see the Speer Gold Dot 158 Gr on the meat target - I remember that as a really good shooting load from my magnum revolver days.
Hey boss. I’m debating buying a .357 for whitetail hunting here in PA for my kids as well. How did the .357 fare against deer for you, success?
@@johnwhoissavedbygrace9975 not op but just use softpoints youll have the penetration you want 158 gr is plenty with the proper shot placement
@@johnwhoissavedbygrace9975 it's plenty for deer. I used to use an m1 carbine for deer, and that would be comparable. Of course we're not talking about shots over 200 yards, but how often do you do that? Almost never, especially where it's hilly. Don't listen to all the yahoos out there that say stuff like "shoot, son you need some type of belted magnum bare minimum for whitetail, anything less is just wounding the animal "
I love Paul's tree trimming service!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate that Paul and his crew have no issue maintaining a professional demeanor while doing this video in cold and wet conditions? This video is by no means the first time they've done it either. It's impressive to me.
James Teaney exactly! I don’t know how many times I’ve heard guys on TH-cam do a “full review” of a gun after only shooting a few rounds since it had been raining. Paul is at his best in the rain lol
It's Oregon. I don't call it the Pacific Northwet for nothing.
If it ain’t raining, we ain’t training....
Here in the PNW we just call it "outside".
@@WhoWouldWantThisName Yep. Puget Sound area hunter -- they call us mossbacks for a reason.
Everyone else in the country: please, no need to move here. It's miserable 😉
I know very little about guns. However, I'm learning because I can't stop watching your channel.
this is the way
I live in Scotland and the only weapon I own is an air rifle, but I love watching Paul's videos! I'd happily watch him compare black powder rifle loads, or various types of throwing knives. He just makes interesting, informative videos in a wonderful uncondescending fashion.
@@colinmcgrath2392 completely unfamiliar with Scotland's firearms laws. can you own black powder firearms? if so CapnBall is a great channel.
@ I'm assuming Scotland is similar to rest of UK: the local police firearms licencing department will issue an explosives licence for black powder weapons I think. Like shotguns and firearms, you need to show good reason to have it etc.
Dana Herron yes and yes! I actually own a couple of black powder blunderbusses, but they'd cost a fortune to get up and running. They've been in my family since they were new, still got the receipt! Used to have a beautiful pair of duelling pistols, but they got stolen years ago
A Paul Harrell video could never be to long. He could record himself every second he is on a range and do 3 hour long lectures and I would view it all. His abilities speak for themselves. With all the training he has received, given and all the knowledge other people have poured into him on top of all his practical experience this man has risen to the very top of the expert rank! I have just one thing to say to Paul. Shoot when you want to explain everything you want to talk when you want to you have my strict attention!
As a man, maybe a little older than you (Paul Harrell) with many decades of teaching I can understand that it's impossible to please everyone. Nonetheless, it grieves me that you have to put up so much "hate mail." I suppose it's inevitable. Still, I am sorry for you. It's really a shame people can't simply see just how knowledgeable you are and what a great service you provide for anyone who wants to learn about guns and ALL things related!
You're the man! Keep the videos coming, Paul!
“No matter what we do, we’re gonna get a lot of hate mail.” Welcome to the internet Paul, where the dumpster fire that is 2020 truly feels at home.
2020 is that guy in school that everyone remembers for all the wrong reasons.
@@juckey2730 probably the best way to put it...
Yeah but😂😂 did you see that tree fall down ??
Immediately dropped every else. Heck with school. Mr Harrell is on!
Same here. Email hit my phone and I ran to my PC.
Rick Keiffer, your PC? This is the 21st century, man. Get that shit on your tv!
I looked on youtube and it said uploaded 8 seconds ago, i dont even have notifications
Mr Harrell is a teacher too
Exactly. This is my kind of homeschooling.
"A very important inch and half of barrel." Love it! Nailed the Meat Target on that one.
Busted out laughing, Paul cutting down trees with lever actions is quite a feat.
You know a channel is great when you literally drop what you're doing to watch it. That's what this Canadian Forces member did lol
Paul speaks the universal language of guns. 😄
@FREN LOL I'm on deployment, using my free time to watch gun videos such as this lol
Every Paul Harrell presentation:
"Please bear with gun fire in the back" - Check!
"But there are a few caveats with that." - Check!
"Not bad at all" - Check!
Don't forget "the Shatner-esque speech impediment" and "you be the judge"
“That’s a lot more.”
"The Paul Harrell drinking game"
I read this simultaneously as he said it in the video.
Don't forget his most famous saying, "...and as always, don't try this at home, I'm what you call a professional, and thanks for watching...".
Howdy from western Colorado! Technically though, it's not "just numbers on a piece of cardboard", its numbers on a piece of "Corrugated fiberboard". Cardboard is what they make shoe boxes out of! Sorry, but after working in a corrugated box factory for years I had to do it! lol!
A small pine tree: * Exists *
Paul: "And I took that personally."
Absolutely LOVE the, “Timber.” Then goes straight onto the next shot. 😂🤣😂
5:45 And a boomerlore was born. 30 years from now we'll all tell 20-somethings .44 magnum can chop trees down and they'll all say "ok boomer."
I just appreciated how he said "timber" and moved on...
I would love to see a video where in Paul's closing comments, a doe walks up to him, and from Paul's Coat Of Cavernous Pockets, he takes out a handful of kibble and closes with feeding the deer!
😁😄😂
Paul, with current "situation" ongoing... I think it's high time to fill out more pistol basic courses. I love the 3 that you did back in the days, but I think that play list is kind thin especially I love the way you teach things, I bet a whole a lot more will too. Gun world is filled with Type-A personality and you are a breath of fresh air to show that you are knowledgeable, kind, funny and also human. You are my absolute favorite Firearm person to learn from.
“Animals seldom do.” Makes me think “bummer of a birthmark Hal.”
I see we have a scholar, gentlemen, AND historian in the house. Welcome, good sir!
Classic!
This comment made me happy. You are my new favorite random person.
@@waynemattson9143 With any luck, perhaps he will worship you as a god! ( obscure, but still a fave of mine)
was that a Gary Larson, Far Side?
The difference in energy foot pounds is painfully obvious when shooting the “meat target”... Thanks Paul!
You could tell pistols are just playing around . Rifles are where it’s at .
I have a number of carbines and enjoy their accuracy and power. My pistols are task specific, depending on the circumstance of necessity.
But of course, a highly blown apart animal is only as dead as a slightly torn up animal is dead.
@@BOSS_DOG You've seen nothing dead, go for a long ways. Dead is dead.
@@jonathangriffiths2499 i watched a guy earlier today chase after a cop with a machete after getting shot at about 10 times within about 5 yards.. im pretty sure he got hit by at least 2.. I told my friend thats why rifle's are best, after 1 shot he would be wishing he was dead if he wont already.
I don’t own a gun. I have shot a few , a few times while at a range. Once. Why am I here. Paul’s videos are very informative and well put together. Thanks Paul
Have watched this video a few times and the "Timber" never gets old! 😆good stuff and Thank you!
Clearing trees with a .44. Sounds like fun!
Almost as fun as clearing trees with C4. 😉
@@michaelblacktree Yes, but not as fast as with C4. I still prefer the instant forest remover the military knows as a claymore.
If this was my dad's childhood, he's be clearing stuff with dynamite he bought from the local hardware. So what's happened? Either the population has become more dumb and dangerous over time, or the DEEP STATE has MADE people more dumb and dangerous, as well as dependent over time. You be the judge.
The 357 weakened the tree first.
@@lifted_above You are absolutely right. I was blasting stumps as a child of 8 with dynamite from the local hardware store. Which I would walk in and buy without even having my dad with me. Now I can't even buy it. Firearms take a background check, even ammo in some places does. I still have a rifle bought from Sears through their mail order catalog, that was mailed to my family's door. Yet you hear about many times more murderers and the like.
It is that the very idea of being responsible for your own actions has been removed from the general public over time. Just look at parents today and TV programming. Parent of the past would teach their children what they could and could not watch. And the children knew if they violated it, they would get a spanking at the very least. Modern parents are just the opposite. How many time have you heard a parent say "I don't think that should be on TV, because I don't want my child to see it"? If you don't want your family to see it turn it off, watch what your children see and act accordingly. Do not expect everyone else to filter what they can watch because you are too lazy to watch you own child. This is just a small example of how self absorbed and lazy people have gotten. How they expect everyone else to do their job for them. It's truly sickening.
Malcontents: "The video is tedious!"
Paul Harrell: "Allow me to introduce you to the new technology of fast-forward."
It's not just for Beta-Max anymore.
@Terry Bruce don't be too hard professional complainers have to have something to do.
🙂
TH-cam videos can be played at 1.25 and 1.5 with little loss of fidelity, and the Shatneresque . . . pauses vanish.
@Terry Bruce You do realize that was a joke in defense of Paul Harrell, right?
I was agreeing with him, not the malcontents. 😂
Your only mistake was to assume i'd get bored from your absolute master-grade content, Paul.
"This meat target was not wearing a T-Shirt. Animals seldom do..." LOL
Please consider this message "love mail". Whenever Paul says "this presentation will be long and tedious" I get very happy. Thank you for this.
and when he says this presentation will be boring, i giggle like a schoolgirl.
14:35 Paul "A Very Impressive Inch and a Half" Harrell.
It's not about the length of your barrel, it's about how you shoot it
That's what my wife said lmfao
@@philllax1719 oh... Barrel length and bore matters. Thats why they built the Iowa class Battleships. (And 45-70) lol
That's what the ladies tell me
@@ShovelMonkey Just out of curiosity: how do you holster a battleship? I know how to holster a bottleship, but that is a very different matter . . .
Few years back I reloaded .357 125 gr HP's with Blue Dot at 13.5 gr. Easily achieved 1400 FPS out of a Taurus Tracker (revolver) with 6.5" barrel. Using the same round in my wife's Rossi lever action with an 18" barrel put the needle at 2100 FPS. I want to brush hunt with her lever, but she won't let me. Paul, please live forever. Or as close to it as you can. Thank you for your service.
Mrs. Harrell: Honey, I'm cold, get me that fleece blanket.
Paul: uh.....um...you see....
Mrs. Harrell: did you shoot my fleece blankets again!!!! First all the groceries and now my blankets!!!!!!
I feel like Paul just wanted to shoot some lever guns and this was the excuse.
I will happily watch it and enjoy his excuse.
Paul answers one of my questions very nicely! I only want to buy one carbine, either a .44 or a .357. I have rifle length Marlins in both calibers BUT I want something more compact. Paul helped make my decision. Thank you Paul, SIR!
Annnnnd? Whut's yer point?
And that's a problem????
@@the_weed_in_your_garden9319 did anyone say it was?
Imagine being the poor sap who skipped through the chronograph segment and missed Paul cutting down a tree with a .44 Mag. tsk tsk tsk.
Ignore the hate mail Paul. I love the comparison videos and want BOTH the realistic and fair. If forced to choose I would much rather see comparisons with bullet weights common to the caliber like 125 and 240 as examples for the 357 and 44. Then the cherry on top would be the “fair” compared.
Thanks for all you do, I have learned a ton from you and enjoyed the learning.
And again, if someone has constructive feedback that’s fine, but IGNORE THE HATERS CAUSE A HATERS JUST GONNA HATE! 😂
Lever action rifles in .44 caliber were used during the First World War for secondary troops of France, Great Britain. The Russians used the Wincherster 1895 lever action rifle in their 7.62x54R cartridge with a five round stripper clip used with the Mosin-Nagant bolt action rifle. These Winchester 1895's rifles saw extensive frontline service with Baltic province troops in the Russian Army. All of these Allied countries were desperately short of rifles at times, especially Russia. The British and French naval and air service troops used these Winchester lever actions to free up their bolt action rifles like the French Lebel and British Lee-Enfield for frontline infantry service. Winchester lever action rifles such as the 1894 version for smokeless powder were employed by French airfield troops, truck drivers, naval troops for shooting sea mines/guard duty and for most motorcycle dispatch riders, truck drivers and other rear area troops. Many .30-30 lever action rifles were also used throughout the war by the French and British military services.
Most secondary troops only occassionally had to shoot a rifle in self defense or in their duties had to have something that worked. These lever actions rifles worked just fine for secondary troops. Sometimes these lever action rifles also found their way into frontline service too. So the idea of using a .44 caliber lever action rifle for combat duty in warfare for secondary troops is a tried and true concept. The British Air Service used special caliber lever action rifles with incendiary type bullets to shoot down balloons of the German air services including Zepplins. No one should have any doubt that out to about a 100 to 125 meters or so a .44 caliber lever action rifle is entirely adequate for use in combat or for stopping human predators today. The American military carried on this tradition of using pistol caliber cartridges during World War Two with the M1 carbine in 7.62x33mm, a pistol cartridge. The M1 carbine was a good weapon out to 125 to 150 meters. Again, many troops just needed something light and handy to protect themselves while carrying lots of other equipment like radios, mortars, ammunition loads and other heavy equipment. Many drivers of vehicles and artillery troops just needed something handy to defend themselves but handguns were just about useless on a battlefield.

I was hoping to see Paul pull them carbines from his pocketses.
So disappointed.
That would be Hickock45

Just because you didn't see Paul pull those carbines out of his pocket doesn't mean that he didn't.... Just that you didn't see him do it. ;)
Ray Jarrett He’s nothing compared to Paul.
Paul is posilutely, absitively the greatest gun instructor!!! Paul, haters are gonna hate brother!!!
@ungratefulmetalpansy Try living in the UK, you have no idea how good even you have it.
@ungratefulmetalpansy You can get guns in Canada.... even Handguns and AR-15s.
@ungratefulmetalpansy it' what you gotta do my friend. Think of it like your driving test; you get it over with and so long as you keep your license renewed, will never have to do it again. Also if you think the course is expensive, wait till you start actually buying guns and ammo LOL
Check out Gabe Suarez of Suarez International also.
@ungratefulmetalpansy ... Yeahbut a pneumo will just bounce off Redeye.
That's dedication. Standing in the rain doing testing!
The fact that the meat target jumped off the table after being hit by two of the 44 mag rounds says a lot about the stopping power of the 44. I still prefer the .357 though... Well at least my shoulder does lol. Another great video Paul, thanks!
He loves us so much, he's willing to stand out in the rain and make these videos
I'm going to start sending Paul hate mail so we get to sit through longer and more tedious chronograph tests.
Yea, I'll tell him that was an old trick with the tree. My dad used to do it with an ear of corn when I was little..He'd leave one full row on the cobb and act like he accidentally missed it.
Brave soul!
I’m so glad I found this channel. I’m not even really into carbines, I just love this dudes “long and tedious” presentation, his clear experience, and how he addresses his followers and critics. Keep it up Paul! You had me reeled in with the pandemic gun buying videos
I really like and appreciate these comparison videos! Thanks Paul and crew!
I knew what the outcome of this test was going to be before I even clicked to view this video. Yet I watched it anyways because Paul Harrell is our super cool dad, uncle or grandpa figure that has all the cool endless information and stories .
Keep it up Paul love you and what you do!
Same. Knew it, watched anyway.
I was talking to my wife on the phone when I get a notice of a Paul Harrell video.
I told my wife I would be back to her in a half an hour.😁
3 hours and 6 repeats later, I imagine she none too happy with you. lol
Thank you and your crew for the time and effort putting this very good informative video together.
Thanks for your hard work and professionalism! Your pragmatic, yet humorous, approach to the material is always greatly appreciated.
The 14 people disliking this have an unimpressive 1 and a half inch barrel...
Mine is 1 7/8.
Brian Beebee same
That is funny.
Anne Landers said size doesn't matter.
@@jshphysicistatyahoo it matters, especially to the dislikers that have a cal. 22 short
The only TH-camr who has balls enough to film in the rain.
Thank you for standing out in the rain to bring us this content. You're videos are very informative and in my opinion, great aid in making decisions on what calibers and platforms someone should consider when taking their application into account. Thanks Paul!
Paul, you are awesome as always, but the "Timber" comment had me laughing out loud. Another great presentation.
"This is a 44 magnum, the most powerful hand gun in the world, it'll blow the meat target clean off the table. Do you feel lucky?"
DahVoozel: *_Well, do ya, punk?_*
@Jeffrey Bone Let's be real on the face of a 22 few people would feel lucky either. ( a hickok45 opinion on a 22 )
@@joeskeptical4762 beat me to it!
Jeffrey Bone He actually played a good guy in the one with the 44 Auto Mag. He brought Harry that honking auto
I wonder how many don't know what you're referring to? I remember seeing the movie in the theatre almost 50 years ago. So good.
Paul is so tough he once was bitten by a rattlesnake and after 3 days of intense pain the snake died
Chuck Norris says Paul is a tough guy.
@@markh.6687 Chuck Norris gives his lunch money to Paul Harrell
@@markh.6687 So it's kinda like this, then? th-cam.com/video/sOZ5y6V_8kY/w-d-xo.html
As always great information and useful comparisons, thanks for sharing.
Superb video! First time coming across your content, Harrell, and I loved it. Informative, practical demos - it’s everything I was looking for - thank you!
The only hatemail I could ever come up with, would be "why aren't your presentations twice as long?" :-D
The .44 Mag throwing "lung tissue" on to the camera lens that is 2-3 feet away......very prophetic..........
I’ve seen two videos and both have him standing in the rain. Bravo to the commitment
I found your channel today. I have to say, your videos are very informative and free of fluff. It is very refreshing. Seems like most youtubers think they need to be over the top to get views. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Thank you for providing quality content for those of us that are stuck at home.
Waking up to a Paul Harrell video; now this is life!
-- Paul, took me long enough but I found that Massad Ayoob video: 037 Massad Ayoob Demonstrates the "Stressfire" Yeah, he says 'Hard Slap' But he also he says, and I quote, 'One hard HIT.' And yes, he was 'hitting' the ejector.
He also teaches that the hand is guided by the barrel/side of the frame so the hand will always hit the rod parallel to the barrel. That guy was just trying to get attention or found a target in his downward spiral. He chose poorly.
@@onpsxmember ...and we're still giving that jerkoff oxygen?
@@mikemelina7395, agreed. The Punk is a waste of oxygen and needs to snivel online when he/she/it isn't sucking his/her/its thumb.
Or somebody else's, er, "thumb." Yeah, THAT'S the ticket.
H ? B...but I got a boo boo on the palm of my hand from hitting it! Won’t you think of my delicate palms?!
@@mikemelina7395 -- Hope not. Didn't say his name, did I? But as much as it pains me he's breathing air we could be breathing, he'd just burn himself down with more of it. My purpose was to point out Massad actually used the word 'hit'
Outstanding video.
Very informative and very well done.
Thanks 😊
Thanks for this video. I have been looking for this exact comparison for months.
Paul, not once have I thought any of your presentations were "too long" or "tedious". That said, I vote for realistic comparisons.
With all the usual caveats, what-ifs and yeah-buts. None of us would want it any other way. =)
Well said. I’m with you on all counts.
True dat. Real life isnt fair.
I think he has a TH-cam cooking channel.
"Barbecuing with Paul"
Today he is smoking ribs with orange juice marinade.
I liked his 2019 Thanksgiving special. I wish I could have gotten my teeth on that Dutch Oven ham...
And it is sprinkled with lead and copper
And today, in “Cooking with Paul”, discover the secret of moist, juicy, meat 🥩 RAW, as nature intended. (Cooking times may vary).
He probably put a little soda in the marinade to soften the ribs
@@ExceptionalPleb People do that?
I love your content because you have no other agenda besides delivering as accurate information as possible, the way it should be. Thank you Paul
I love presentations like this, whether it is rifles, pistols shotguns or revolvers, this man gives a great video presentation. Lots of good info. I never find Paul's videos boring.
New favorite quote " 1979... Timber" 😄
I am convinced I need a .357 lever gun now. My Favorite caliber to shoot is .38 and .357. A lever gun would make a perfect compliment to my collection.
Go for it, Tron. I just joined the pistol-caliber, lever-action frenzy with a Marlin 1894c .357 purchased a couple months ago. It is fun to shoot! You'll love it.
Marlin 1984 is a great choice.
yes l i have a lever 357 and 44mag, love them, my daughter has a lever 357 mag and she love to shoot it
I feel the exact same way about 44 Mag.
Yes, yes it would!
For once youtube recommended me something that actually interested me! What a concept! Subscribed! Great video, looking forward for more. Love the realistic vs fair format personally and you have the charisma to keep the video entertaining. Keep those comparison video coming. Thank you! ^-^
Great video! Thank you for the follow up to the 44/357 pistol comparison. The wonderful thing about both of these cartridges is the versatility, and even more so if you're hand loading.
The tree wasn't even hit by gunfire, it just bowed down to it's master Paul Harell
Woodn´t you do that?
Yup, I'm getting a 44 mag lever action.
Jose Vazquez I have a Henry Lever action big boy they are awesome and the 44 out of a rifle is a lot more powerful than you think. I have had 44 magnum handguns all my life and coming out of a rifle it makes a big difference. Shooting steel plates it makes a big welt compared to coming out of a handgun. I put a red dot on it and it is amazingly accurate.
I've got the problem, having.30-30 do I get a .357 or a .44 next
Craig MacKay Hi Craig The 30-30 has very nice ballistics and is a very nice cartridge to have a lever action in. You may consider do you have a handgun in either of the other cartridges or if you would like to it is nice to have a handgun in the same cartridge as your rifle. I reload for my 44 rifle and handgun and it is very cost-effective.
@@craigmackay7691 my thought would be to get the .357, soft shooting less expensive ammo, more available ammo in stores if that's important to you, and more capacity. Since you have the 30 30 it would be more different. But honestly I want both soooooooooo
@@stickfigureman3D there is no capacity difference between 44mag and 357 mag rifles.
I always appreciate your productions... Thanks!
I used to own two Rossi model 92 carbines. One was .357 and the other was .44 magnum. I hand load for all my rifles and have for many years. After a few years I sold the .44 magnum and kept the .357 mag. I harvested wildlife with both firearms and just liked the .357 above the .44. For my use the .44 was a much more close in rifle than the .357. Now I own and use a bolt action .357 and neither 125 gr. bullets or 158 gr. bullets. When using the .44 from a bench rest I found the barrel of the .44 was to thin and would heat rapidly causing wandering bullets. A thicker barrel would have helped this at the expense of more weight. A guide friend of mine bought the .44 to use as a camp gun and it fills that bill quite well.
