A generic term used to refer to any revolver chambered for the .38 S&W Special. The most famous examples are the Smith & Wesson Model 10 and Model 36 'Chief's Special.' This is perhaps one of the best chocies for ANYONE seeking a no-frills, close range, defensive cartridge. It isn't the most powerful, with so-so ballistics, but a couple of .38s in the center mass will end most life threatening encounters.
I bought myself a Model 10 .38 to keep under the matress, just in case any drunkard thugs get any ideas...

A .50 caliber pistol cartrige that, due to action movies and video games, has recieves more merit and admiration than it deserves. The most popular pistol in .50 AE is the large, intimidating Desert Eagle. In reality, .50 AE weapons are very impractical and overly powerful. The recoil and noise are too much for most shooters, and the large diameter of the round limits the capacity. For example, the .357 Magnum Desert Eagle holds 9 rounds, as opposed to the variant in .50 Action Express which holds 7. Why sacrifice two rounds for a needlessly big bulet, when you could have two more in the proven stopper caliber of .357 Magnum. Think about that next time you see 'Eraser' or 'The Last Action Hero.' The .50 AE is a needless overkill.
I just fired my .50 AE Freedom Arms revolver, and my arm hurts like hell!
