I'm interested in getting a pocketable small revolver and I was considering either a Smith Wesson PD scandium or a regular S&W steel or a Ruger LCR.
Few questions.....how is the performance of a 9 mm Luger out of a short revolver barrel (Ruger LCR) compared to a small 380 Auto pistol and a 38 Special +P?
Is a 357 Mag 125 gr. HP out of a short barrel wheelgun still significantly more powerful than a 38 Special +P?
Is the S&W scandium PD revolver or the Luger LCR (polymer) strong enough to accept a fairly regular diet of 357 mag personal defense loads meaning mainly 125 gr. HP? I heard of scandium revolvers frame breakage in the past.
Is the 357 ammo prone to bullet "jumping" when fired from such a small and light revolvers??
Any other advice??
Thank you!!!
