Colt Python: Product Spotlight

April 27, 2022 | 0 Comments

The Best Revolver Ever

It’s hard to define what the best revolver is. There are many out there and everyone has different needs. But the revolver that has stood the test of time is the Colt Python. A standout of the Snake series, the Python is a beast of a gun. Chambered in the man-stopping .357 Magnum, the Python has proven time and time again that it can hang with the newer firearms–and even outperform them. Whether you’re looking for a Ruger revolver for sale, Smith and Wesson revolver deals, or you just want the Colt Python, GrabAGun is the only name to trust. We even have all the ammo online that you could need. GrabAGun is the premier online gun store for all your firearm needs. So, when you are ready to pick up a Colt Python for sale, shop GrabAGun today.

The Legend of Colt Python

In 1955, the firearms industry was completely changed when the Colt Python was introduced. Of all the firearms to come out that year, this was the only one with a radically new design. It was a dramatic change from anything Colt had ever done before, despite the fact that its ancestry included the Army Special, a popular .38-caliber DA that had been in the line since 1908. I digress.

The Python was, and is, chambered in .357 Magnum. Now, 357 Magnum had already proven itself as a powerful and dependable round. Plus, it’s far more pleasant to shoot than the .44 Magnum from Smith and Wesson which had come out that same year. However, until WWII, the .357 Magnum had only been offered in the Single Action Army, of which only 525 guns were. Fun fact: when the SAA was reintroduced in 1955, it was in .45 Colt and .38 Special but not in .357 Magnum. I thought that was interesting.

This was Colt’s top-of-the-line model and was originally intended to be a large-frame, .38 Special target revolver. You can see this in the precision adjustable sights, smooth trigger, solid construction, and extra metal. However, since they already had the SAA out, a change was made and it was released in a different caliber. Pythons, you’ll notice, have a distinct appearance due to a full barrel underlug, ventilated rib, and adjustable sights. Another fun fact: Colt initially manufactured Pythons with hollow underlugs but decided to leave them solid so they could work as a stabilizing barrel weight.

The Python was removed from production in 1999, supposedly retired for good. Colt had other ideas. In 2020, a reimagined version of the old classic was brought back to their lineup and has shown to be a massive success.

Colt Python for Sale

If it isn’t obvious, the Python is built on Colt’s legendary Snake Gun legacy. This double-action revolver has returned with a stainless steel barrel, stainless steel alloys, and a re-designed rear sight. There is 30% MORE steel beneath the rear adjustable target sight to give you a stronger revolver and a more robust shooting experience. Factor in a recessed target crown, user-interchangeable front sights, and Walnut grip with the iconic Colt medallion, and you’ll never want to put this down. Truly, this was a revolver designed to be used AND shown off. Like the original, it’s chambered in .357 Magnum, but it does also accommodate .38 Special cartridges. You can even find custom gold-plated Colt Pythons on our site! So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your very own Colt Python from GrabAGun today!

.357 Magnum vs 9mm

March 16, 2022 | 0 Comments

The Best Self Defense Load

Whether you choose to carry a semi-automatic or a revolver for your daily carry firearm, either is useless without the proper ammunition. 9mm and 357 Magnum are two of the most popular self-defense loads on the market. Knowing this, we decided to do a complete comparison breakdown between the two. GrabAGun proudly provides a wide variety of ammo deals for shooters of every caliber. We are a trusted online gun store with a large online inventory of firearms, including Glock 43 handguns for sale, revolver deals, and more. Get 9mm or 357 Magnum ammo at GrabAGun today–as soon as you’re done reading this post!

Battle of the Ammo: 357 Magnum vs 9mm

Alright, first things first. Why even compare .357 magnum vs 9mm? Well, both are extremely popular, capable, and proven rounds. In fact, we are comfortable saying they are the best combat cartridges in their respective platforms and respective genres. The fun comes from the fact that these two calibers are very much the same but also very different. So, let’s dig in and compare these two incredible calibers.

357 Magnum vs 9mm Specs

Specifications	9 x 19 mm	357 Magnum
Bullet Weight	115gr to 147gr	125gr to 180gr
Bullet Diameter	.355 inches	.357 inches
Case Length	19.15mm	33mm
Max Overall Length	29.69mm	40mm
Case Capacity	13.3gr H2O	26.2gr H2O
Max Pressure	34,084 PSI	35,000 PSI

When you start looking between the two, you’ll notice some similarities. For example, the projectile sizes–they’re almost entirely identical. The 9mm uses a .355 caliber bullet and, predictably, the 357 Magnum uses a .357 caliber projectile. On top of that, both rounds came to be for material use, with the 9mm intended for military forces and the 357 Magnum for police forces. Ultimately, both rounds have faithfully served in law enforcement roles, in concealed carry roles, and far beyond. However…

While the two have quite a bit in common, they are also two completely different rounds. The 357 Magnum is primarily a revolver cartridge, intended to provide new levels of power to the fighting handgun. The 9mm is primarily an automatic cartridge that strikes that balance between power and capacity. Since 9mm is one of the most widely used rounds, we’re going to look at that first.

9mm: History and Purpose

The 9mm has been around for a long, long time. While it’s the choice for modern military and police forces, the 9mm round can be traced back all the way to 1901. It was then that Georg Luger decided two things:

-He didn’t need the ‘E’ at the end of his name

-The world needed a new bullet. That particular bullet would use a 19mm and a 9mm projectile

The actual round originates from the 7.65×21 Parabellum, but the shorter profile allowed it to function better with the Luger pistols toggle lock and allowed for a more ergonomic grip. (Long rounds make wide grips and wide grips aren’t overly comfortable) Still, the round packed a sufficient-sized projectile–for the case capacity–delivering efficient energy on target.

The 9mm round would go on to serve in World War 1, World War 2 (with the Tommy Gun), and every war since then. The cartridge became widely popular in pistols and submachine guns. Europe was actually the first to adopt the 9mm and did so with gusto. It was the official standard for both the Axis and Allies during World War 2. Fact: the Brits Sten gun faced off against the Nazi MP40 in combat, both blasting 9mm from submachine guns. The US wouldn’t get over its 45 ACP lust until the 1980s, which is when the 9mm finally became the United States standard.

Since then, it’s become the round of choice for NATO, the United States military, and most modern police forces. These days, it’s the dominant round in the US and continues to be the round of choice for a wide variety of shooters. With over a century on the market, it’s benefited from research, design updates, and lessons learned. These include effective projectile designs involving jacketed hollow point rounds. JHPs have actually helped narrow the gap between the 9mm and larger rounds like the 40 S&W and 45 ACP.

357 Magnum: History and Purpose

Despite WWI making the automatic pistol mainstream, most American police forces continued to stick with the proven six gun design in the following years. Revolvers ruled and most utilized the 38 Special. The prohibition era followed the Roaring 20s and with it came a wave of gangsters, meaning 1930s law enforcement needed something new.

At the time, the 38 Super Automatic was one of the only rounds that could penetrate through metal car doors with any kind of efficiency. Police wanted a revolver that could do that. Plus, bootleggers and bandits were now mobile, so that factored into development. A group of experts began experimenting with suped-up 38 Specials on 44 frames. The result was a tougher, higher velocity round that could pierce the thin metal that car doors were made from. It was Elmer Keith that worked so hard to make that suped-up 38 Special a reality. Ultimately, it was Smith and Wesson that made the 357 Magnum a reality and produced the first-ever, 357 revolver.

Immediately, the industry took notice and began producing a variety of 357 revolvers. Colt specifically, happily adopted the round in their numerous “Snake” guns. (Colt Python, anyone?) This new round was slightly longer than the 38 Special, an insurance measure done to make sure shooters couldn’t accidentally load 357 Magnum rounds and cause a handheld explosion.

The 357 Magnum cartridge became a favorite among law enforcement at every level–state, federal, and local police forces quickly adopted it. The heavy-hitting cartridge proved quite successful and easily earned the reputation as a well-known man stopper. While revolvers and 357 Magnum have faded from duty use, it’s still a popular configuration and caliber among civilian shooters.

357 Magnum Ammo Recommendations

As discussed, 357 Magnum is still highly popular amongst civilian shooters. It’s regarded as a quality and reliable home defense round. GrabAGun has plenty of 357 Magnum options available from a number of top-billed brands. CCI, Fiocchi, and Sellier and Bellot are just a few of the names we carry–at prices that you can get behind.

The Nitty Gritty

Okay, so we’ve gone over the history for each round, but now it’s time to get down to the brass tacks. What are the differences between 357 Magnum and 9mm ammo? Let’s look.

While both rounds offer outstanding performance for what they are, they are still very, very different. The 9mm is considered a bit of an intermediate pistol round designed primarily for automatic pistols while 357 is a heavy-hitter used mainly in revolvers.

Ballistics: 357 Magnum vs 9mm

Specifications	9mm	357 Magnum
Grain	124	125
Feet Per Second	1,150	1,500
Foot-Pounds of Energy	364	585
Penetration (Inches)	~12	~18+
Drop (Inches)	~12	~4

When broken down like this, it’s easy to see that 9mm rounds are admittedly average–in terms of ballistics. It’s no 10mm nor is it 357 Magnum. The 9mm routinely reaches the FBI standards for penetration through 12 inches of ballistic gel. This means that, in a defensive scenario, this round will easily reach the vitals of a bad guy and effectively stop a threat. What’s more, because of those average ballistics, there’s no risk of overpenetration.

357 Magnum is a completely different beast. Clearly, this round outperforms the 9mm. It has no issue meeting FBI standards and even exceeding them. The minimum is 12 inches while the maximum is 18. Go past 18 inches and you risk overpenetration. Meaning, your chances of hitting an innocent bystander or destroying property increase with such a cartridge. That’s why proper self-defense bullet selection is a must when using 357 Magnum.

Though both rounds are meant for handguns they have also found their way into long guns. 9mm has become the caliber of choice for semi-automatic carbines while 357 works well in lever guns. It doesn’t matter which platform you choose, 357 Magnum predictably does better than 9mm. Load a Hornady Flex tip or Leverlution round and the 357 Magnum has hardly any drop out to 100 yards from a 16-inch barrel. With regular 357 Magnum ammo, you’ll usually see at least a few inches of drop at best.

Compare that with 9mm and you’re looking at 10 to 12 inches of drop out to 100 yards as well as the potential for lots of wind drift. So, in terms of ass-kicking, there’s no question. 357 Magnum kicks 9mm butt when it comes to effective range, energy on target, and wind drift.

Recoil & Muzzle Rise

We, clearly, established that 357 Magnum kicks butt ballistically, but as you’d imagine, you pay for it in felt recoil and muzzle rise. Before you get any ideas in your head, 357 Magnum is not some kind of crazy powerful cannon that will throw you back when you shoot it. This ain’t the movies. That said, a gun with this caliber loaded will have some serious recoil and muzzle rise compared to the 9mm.

In a duty-sized revolver with a big, heavy frame and 4-inch barrel, the 357 Magnum is a tight shooter that’s slightly stout. Not a big problem, right? Right. There will still be recoil and muzzle rise, but it is much easier to control, especially if you are comparing it with a snub nose. Choose a 357 Magnum with a snub nose design and that gun becomes much less manageable. An air-weight snub nose is a literal handful to hold onto when you start spitting lead.

A smaller 9mm might be pretty snappy, but it’s nothing compared to a 357 Magnum snub nose. Plus, follow-up shots will always be faster with a full-sized 9mm automatic. It’s just the nature of the beast. There is something to be said, however, for a 357 Magnum’s ability to chamber a 38 Special round. Heavier frame guns can easily and safely fire the tamer 38 Special and 38 Special +P loads, making the gun much more manageable to shoot.

No matter what, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you want that 357 Magnum power, you will pay for it. Higher capacity and lower recoil do have a cost. You’ll have to weigh your options to decide what would be best for you, your needs, and your situation.

semi automatic and revolver handgun, side by side.

357 Magnum at GrabAGun

So, which is better? That’s up to you. Ultimately, the argument comes down to semi-automatic handguns versus revolvers. 9mm exemplifies everything great with a semi-automatic firearm–mild recoil, the potential for 15 to 20 rounds, and suitable ballistics backed by fast follow-ups. Of course on the flip side, the 357 Magnum illustrates the sheer, raw power a revolver can offer. The long case packs a powerful punch in such a small projectile. With that in mind, the size of the revolver you’ll need to manage all that power can be difficult to conceal. Whereas, 9mm is far more catered toward concealed carry.

Whatever you decide, GrabAGun is here to help. We carry semi-automatic handguns, revolvers, and their respective ammo. Find a Glock 43 for sale or Chiappa Rhino revolver deals on our site right now.

The Micro Pistol Reimagined

Having a quality concealed carry weapon is a must these days. You need something you can rely on any time, anywhere. For that, we’d recommend anything from Smith & Wesson, specifically the CSX. They produce some of the finest quality firearms on the market at prices that can meet anyone’s budget. And the gun store that you can trust to offer the best deals online is none other than GrabAGun. We have guns for sale ranging from AK 47 Draco guns to AR 15 deals to the Glock 43 gun for sale. Whatever you need, we more than likely have it. Find Smith and Wesson CSX gun deals online at GrabAGun today.

Smith & Wesson CSX Deals

Smith & Wesson are no strangers to the micro pistol. The M&P Bodyguard has been a longstanding favorite among gun enthusiasts. They are highly-capable handguns that are reliable for a variety of situations. But they are polymer frames. While that may work for some, it’s not what everyone wants. Thus, the CSX was born. The aluminum alloy frame is surprisingly lightweight, yet just as durable and long-lasting as you’d expect. It’s reliable, performative, and adaptable to a wide variety of shooters. Keep reading to learn more.

About the S&W CSX for Sale

The Smith & Wesson CSX pays homage to the metal frame micro compacts of the past but brings the classic style to the 21st century. It’s similar to the Shield Plus Pistol though that’s where the similarities end. The CSX features a rich aluminum alloy frame as well as a 10+1 or a 12+1 magazine capacity chambered in 9mm. This small but mighty hammer-fired pistol is perfect for concealed carry.

More than likely, the first thing that drew your eye to this pistol is the single-action external hammer. This provides a crisp and consistent trigger press all the while the visual and physical control of the hammer provides additional confidence for concealed carry, especially when reholstering. Beneath that hammer is an ambidextrous safety. The innovative design incorporates external safeties pinned to the inside of the grip. These steel ambidextrous safeties hinge along the back of the grip for efficient access and positive engagement for different hand sizes and shooting grips.

Down from there, you’ll notice the interchangeable backstraps. The CSX pistol comes with two interchangeable backstraps to suit your ideal grip and concealment preferences. It comes with a standard backstrap that fills the hand for comfort. There’s also a smaller backstrap that offers, not only a reduced size grip for those with smaller hands but a lower profile for concealment as well.

The aluminum alloy frame also features a truly ambidextrous steel slide stop. With the low-profile design, there’s the chance for easy activation into the up position while tactile grooves along the top ridge make for efficient deactivation. This ships with two, easy-to-change magazine release buttons, making this useful for both left and right-handed shooters. The textured design and slight rise of the aluminum button on the frame make it easy to depress while also helping to reduce the chance of an unintentional release.

In addition to all of this, the CSX carries over several favorite features from other Smith and Wesson firearms. The CSX features a flat-faced trigger with a trigger safety extending across the face of the trigger for a consistent feel. There are appropriately placed, glare-reducing serrations on both the front and rear portions of the slide. In fact, the rear serrations feature a flared design for easier manipulation. It also comes equipped with a 3.1-inch barrel, dovetail white front sights, and 2-white dot rear sights.

S&W CSX Specs

Caliber: 9mm
Capacity: 10+1 and 12+1
Barrel Length: 3.1
Action: Single-Action Only
Safety: Thumb
Frame Finish: Black
Frame Material: Aluminum Alloy

Guide: Carrying While Jogging

February 23, 2022 | 0 Comments

How to Carry While Jogging

Despite the crazy weather this time of year, there is nothing quite as satisfying as completing a run. Runners often find themselves on trails and pathways at odd times of the day with a plethora of interesting cheerleaders along the way—if you know, you know. You also know that there are different, let’s call them threats, on different trails at different times of the day. Naturally, you want to avoid hurting yourself, but you can and may also find yourself stumbling across some creatures you may not want to be around. Skunks? Coyotes? Bears? We’re walking the other way…To avoid catastrophic confrontations, we recommend carrying while jogging to ensure the best experience–and yes, we are talking about a firearm. We’ll talk about why it’s important, what are some alternatives, and what you’ll need in this post. For all your carrying while jogging needs, GrabAGun has you covered. Keep reading to learn more.

Why You Should Carry on Your Runs

Protection, first and foremost. Most runners take the necessary precautions to prevent injury while running, but many don’t think about the precautions needed to keep themselves situationally safe. I mean, have you ever been chased by a startled armadillo on a run? No? Yeah, no I haven’t either…

No matter what, keeping yourself and others safe should be your top priority. Naturally, we recommend carrying a handgun. Whether it be a 9mm handgun or a micro pistol, a small handgun is better than no handgun, in our opinion. If you are comfortable using one, a firearm will guarantee your own safety from nearby predators like bears, coyotes, or a surprisingly determined raccoon.

Carrying While Jogging and Other Options

Whether you decide that carrying while jogging is the way to go or not, having a form of protection with you is of the utmost importance. Naturally, we recommend a 9mm handgun or something similar. They are reliable, rugged, and effective in a variety of situations. Plus, the last thing you want is to be startled with no means of protection. (Ever had the misfortune of surprising yourself and an unsuspecting raccoon at the same time? Adorable, yet, frightening) Let’s take a look at some of the safety options you can take with you on your next run.

Tasers or stun guns are nice to have but only effective in extremely close quarters. That means someone or something will have to practically be on top of you for either option to be truly effective. What’s more, most people are not adept at using something like this which can lead to unsatisfactory results.

Personal Alarms

If you’ve taken any self-defense class, then you’ll likely know that one of the first, and best, tools to get yourself out of a situation is to sing. Before you ask, no, you’re not expected to actually sing, but instead, make as much noise as possible. Besides, trying to sing while running or even after a run is near impossible. What will help is a personal alarm because, more often than not, attackers, animals, or other threats will turn away when too much noise draws attention to them.

Pepper Spray/Mace

One of the most common defense weapons is mace–and for good reason. Outside of a firearm, it’s one of the most effective weapons for stopping a threat. Most cans usually have a decent range allowing users to protect themselves while still keeping a safe distance from whatever is threatening them. Now, many brands make gel formulations that allow for the product to stick around longer, doing more damage while providing ample opportunities for escaping.

Firearms

And of course, our personal recommendation, the firearm. Why are firearms the best weapon to keep while running? With the right usage, they are effective, reliable, and perhaps, one of the best deterrents. It will take time to become proficient, but once you are there, you’ll have a reliable form of protection any day, anywhere, for just about any purpose.
