In this conversation with John Hearne, we talk about what it takes to win a gunfight. Why do some people excel under extreme stress while others fail to perform? How can we train and practice to be better mentally prepared to face violence? If you only watch one Lucky Gunner video this year, make it this one!

![.357 Magnum vs .44 Magnum Lever Actions [2025 Update]
Today, were looking at .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum when fired from lever action rifles (in this case, two identical rifles a pair of Henry X Models). Whats the useful range of these cartridges with rifle length barrels? We tested that. What kind of performance benefit do they offer versus handguns chambered for the same calibers? We tested that, too. And some ballistic gel testing, hard barrier penetration testing, and a whole bunch of pretty charts, numbers, and spreadsheets... if youre into that kind of thing.
