Note that lucky gunner was getting this velocity from a Kimber K-6. My buddy was getting 1275 from a S&W 640 with a 1 7/8" BBL. As I stated before each gun can be quite different.

So different guns can produce different result, exactly what Nanuk was pointing out.

But I tend to agree with Nanuk. Everyone seems to use BBTI as the gospel, especially quoting the velocity losses with .38 and .357 in shorter barrels.
But what I found with my own chrono test is different that what they claim. It could be due to different guns giving differen velocities, but there is not as much loss as what they claim as with their cut barrels. I guess you could call me a liar as well.

It also might be a different load. When you posted about a Remington 125 grain load, I thought 125 Golden Saber. It could be that you are referring to a completely different 125 grain load. |

That is, use one barrel for all your velocity tests. As soon as you start using different barrels you run the real risk of producing spurious results. The 6" Python and the 4" S&W in the table is the perfect example. Using only that data one would conclude that 4" barrels produce more velocity than 6" barrels. |

One must chronograph their particular gun to know the true velocity. Quote:
for example, the difference between my 1 7/8" LCR and my 3" LCRX was only 50 fps with two different BB loads. A different firearm might produce even different differences. So to assume that cutting a barrel an inch shorter will give equal results no matter what the firearm is false. It's just give an idea, not reality.

They are alot of variables in velocity with different handguns ....

If I was LEO in the 80's and a 4 to 6 inch barrel revolver was my duty gun, I'd carry 158's because I'm in situations where I'm much more likely to be required to shoot into cars and through barriers.

Your cavalier attitude and the automatic use of insults speaks volumes about your character.
