My new wheel gun

Picked this puppy up yesterday:

What ammo should I use for home defense?

 

[csm47362]

Nice looking gun!!

 

[jason867]

Any name brand hollow point will get the job done...

 

[JohnP82]

very nice!!! congrats and enjoy!

 

[Joe Williams]

That's a beauty!

As for your question, though I suspect it was in jest, Speer Gold Dot 200 grain .44 Special is actually a very good choice.

NICE !....Looks great, enjoy!

I like those grips, very nice. There's just something special about a .44 mag, love em.

 

[gglass]

Very nice!

With the bullet weight and velocity of a .44 Magnum, it would be hard to find a poor SD bullet.

I prefer the Barnes Expander all copper bullets for their deep penetration and vicious petals that grow to the size of a basketball.

Ammunition To Go : 20rds - 44 Mag Federal 225gr Barnes Expander Vital-Shok Ammo [P44XB1] - $37.95

A Barnes Expander in a .44 Magnum is as close to a 1-shot stopper as you are likely to find in a handgun cartridge.

As far as your question goes. Something slow and that fragments fast.
Why?
Because you do not want it to go thru walls and hurt someone other than who you are shooting.

 

[Seancass]

That's a great looking gun. Let us know how she shoots!

 

[Kick]

Wow, she is beautiful!!!

 

[Wheezy50]

Yeah that's a nice looking gun

I'm guessing whichever load you go with will get the job done.

 

[Jack Ryan]

Yeah, buy a 44 mag and then find some amo for it that makes it shoot like a 44 special.

 

[LotsofGlocks]

very nice congrats

Nice toy...if you're not used to it, get lighter loads to get started as it'll help with felt recoil, reduce muzzle flip and aid in faster second (followup) shot...otherwise, knock yourself out!

Really, though...for home defense, I prefer Hornady's TAP ammo, Federal's Personal Defense stuff, and Corbon...but any decent HP will do the job.

BTW...did it come with the optional wheels set? he he

 

[ChalupaCabras]

Oh, its just fine. I shot about 60 rounds through it the night i picked it up.

 

[alurker]

sweet gun!

Very nice revolver. Hope to see a range report, soon. The Smiths', post lock, are sometimes given a bad rate. Perhaps you might shed a bit of experience on this as well...thanks, and fine revolver.
