BUFFALO BORE 357 Mag 140Gr JHP (1150FPS/ME 411 ft lbs) 20rd

Tactical Challenges of Full Power .357 Magnum Loads: Traditional full power .357 Magnum ammunition presents several issues for self-defense and duty use, especially in compact, lightweight revolvers:

• Muzzle Flash: Can be blinding, particularly from short barrels.

• Recoil: May hinder fast follow-up shots, posing a serious risk.

• Sound Report: Extremely loud and potentially causes permanent hearing damage, especially indoors.

Buffalo Bore Tactical Short Barrel Loads: These specialized loads address all three tactical concerns, making the .357 Magnum suitable for concealed, defensive, and duty carry in smaller revolvers.

Muzzle Flash Reduction:

• Uses flash-suppressed powder to maintain visibility in low-light situations.

• Over 90% of civilian defensive shootings occur in low light—this load helps prevent temporary blindness after firing.

• Real-world incidents have shown how muzzle flash can impair vision and compromise safety; this load minimizes that risk.

Recoil Management:

• Designed for use in short-barreled, lightweight revolvers where recoil is more pronounced.

• Not a full-power “barn burner,” resulting in significantly reduced felt recoil.

• Still powerful enough for effective defense, while allowing faster and more accurate follow-up shots.

Hearing Protection:

• Full-power .357 Magnum rounds are deafening, especially in enclosed spaces.

• This load produces less noise, reducing the risk of permanent hearing loss.

• Hearing protection is still recommended when possible, but this ammo is less punishing to the ears.

Versatility: Ideal for those who carry a .357 Magnum revolver for personal protection. These Tactical Short Barrel loads eliminate the common drawbacks of traditional .357 ammo and are also effective in longer-barreled firearms.
