Why .38 Special is Making a COMEBACK - And Why Police Departments HATE It!

The .38 Special was never truly gone—but now, it’s making a serious comeback, and some police departments aren’t too happy about it. In this video, we dive deep into why shooters are falling back in love with the old-school round, and what makes it a reliable option for self-defense, range use, and concealed carry. We cover everything from modern +P ammo innovations to the rugged revolvers keeping this classic cartridge alive—like the Ruger SP101, Colt Cobra, and S&W 442. Plus, we explore why law enforcement turned away from it, and whether that decision still makes sense today. Is the .38 Special just a nostalgic throwback, or is it still a legitimate self-defense choice in 2025? Stick around to find out. If you’re a wheelgun fan or just curious about what’s behind the revival of this timeless caliber, this one’s for you. Like, comment, and subscribe for more real-world firearm content every week!
