I was in a gun shop and I wanted to get a .357mag for myself. I was looking at S&W 686, Taurus 66, Ruger GP100s, and the Ruger SP101. The owner asked if I wanted a long barrel or a short barrel.
I figured if I got the 686, 66, or 100... I'd go with a 4-6 in. (for home)
or
If I got the SP101, I'd go with a 2-3 in. (for CC)
The owner suggested that I might as well get a .38 snubby since you lose the ballistic superiority of the .357 in a short barreled revolver. Is this true? Please explain.
