Looks like the best place to put this.

Very interesting video on penetration of 357 and 44 mags thru drywall.

Note to self- don't try to hide behind drywall in a gun fight ( never would have tried it anyway)

So maybe 5 houses over might be safe from drywall penetration?

Wonder what a 12 ga slug would do?

If your drywall is like what we use here in Australia which is like cardboard sandwich on the outside of plaster two sheets of it will not even stop a 22 Rimfire

Best scenario for using drywall as cover is while it is still stacked on the delivery truck.....and you can get behind the truck!

Seriously, I was more impressed by the penetration of the .357 since it was prob assumed by most including myself to fall way short of the .44. So I actually feel little better with my 686+ .357!

I was watching an other video with a guy shooting a 10 mm and a 44 mag with dangerous game ammo and although he shot the 10 mm pretty good he was horrible with the 44!
Shooting through the chronograph he missed the screens twice and shooting a 7-8" steel plate at 25 yards he only hit it once out of 5 tries with the 44. It was obvious he was anticipating the recoil because the video showed him dropping the hammer on an empty cylinder and his flinch was terrible. And when the revolver did go off he would take a step backwards from the recoil!
This guy should not go hunting with a .44 let alone be chasing dangerous game with one. He will end up 6' under.
