I'm getting back into the small, snub-nosed revolver business, and I think I might want something w/ a little more "authority" than a .38SPL this time.
I'm interested in the .357Mag snubs out there b/c of their interchangability w/ .38SPL (esp. w/ the longer ejector rods), the variety of ammo, and the fact I already load .38/.357. But the new 9mm revolvers are tempting, too. Cheaper (but effective) ammo, moon-clip reloading, and a more powerful, efficient cartridge in a short barrel. In fact, I once traded off a Security-Six 2.5" .357 for a P-95 just b/c I found that CorBon 9mm +P 124gr. HP's matched the same ballistics I was getting from the .357/125's in that short barrel--and get four more shots to boot.
So, in a short-barrel J-frame snubby, which would be the better choice...
9mm....
.357Mag...
...or should I just stick w/ the tried & true .38SPL?
Thanks in advance for the help
