The idea and look of revolvers are finally growing on me and I figured since I am going to be issued a .38 of some kind in the coast guard (Reservists apparently dont usually get M9s, apparently) I was wondering about the .357 / .38 thing. How does it work? any .357 can take a .38? can .38's take .357? or would I need a revolver that has a .357/.38 designation?
Also, if there are +P and +P+ loads for a .38, can a revolver in good condition handle them?
edit: oh, another thing... What is with the itty bitty grips on all the revolvers I see in the stores nowadays? Do they give you a better grip? I would think that people would prefer the larger handle on something that wants to embed itself in your forehead
