V-Crown is good I also liked the Winchester Defender JHP, they seem to expand and penetrate. The Critical Defense isn't bad either and I don't typically care for them, but in 380 they do pretty good. https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/#380ACP

I've had several Wranglers and a Super Wrangler and they shot well and for the price, are hard to beat. I wanted something a bit "nicer" so I got a 5.5" Single Six convertible.

All my .357's are 686+'s except my 586 L-Comp, which is pretty much the same. I like the GP100 but I've grown quite fond the L-frame S&W.

3" 686+ 586 L-Comp

I think the Night Watchman is an all steel gun whereas the LW Commander has an aluminum frame plus the NW has night sights and the LW doesn't.

There's an issue of Handloader magazine that has some 45 Colt data for the M25, I bought it because I had one and I don't have it anymore but it has a lot of data. It's the April 2022 edition (No. 337), it's got a lot of good data from Brian Pearce, real good stuff you can order an issue from...

I like the .357 Mag and 44 Mag the best when it comes to my revolver cartridges. Each has their upsides with very few downsides. I use the .357 more than the 44 Mag as I do think it has advantages in most "social" settings, but that's not to take anything away from the 44 either.

I had a Shield Plus in .30SC and it shot well, found some ammo online that wasn't too unreasonable (about $15/box 50). Recoil was very similar to 9mm, maybe just a hair less but nothing major. I think the idea is sound, it's a modern day high velocity .32 (well, .312") and there are some gel...

I've had my share of revolvers that shoot semi auto cartridges, be in Blackhawk convertibles or S&W 610's, etc. I came to the realization that for me, I'm keeping my revolvers to revolver only cartridges. The single action Blackhawk convertibles did it better, but a dedicated .45 ACP or 10mm...

Night sights to me on any carry or home defense gun are a must have, not even optional. I typically run Amerigo Trooper night sights on my Glocks, I like the lime green/yellow front.

Good choice, I love unfluted cylinders. The 4 5/8" SBH is one of my favorites!

I don't have a dedicated .44 Special anymore, but it's a very good all around cartridge. It can be easy to shoot, pokes big holes and can be loaded up warm enough to take care of most situations you would use a 44 Mag for. I can't say anything bad about the 44 Special, the only reason I don't...

I run a Vortex Viper PST 1-6x24 LPVO

I'm pleased with my G27 Gen5.

There is (well maybe "was") a run of stainless 4 5/8" and 5.5" Bisley .44's without engraving. https://ruger.com/products/newModelSuperBlackhawkBisley/models.html I tried to get ahold of one but was never able to. The ones in that video are the 6.5" SBH 454 and 480.
