Anyone EDC a Rhino in 357? If so did you carry a Semi auto before, or always a Revolver guy?

I am thinking about a change, but don't want the kick of a 357, " getting on in years". The Caliber suits me fine, if the Rhino sufficiently tames it down to the degree I have heard, it might be an alternative to a 7 round 9mm or 45. I prefer the 357 cartridge to most others in the neighboorhood, Having been a 45 and 9mm guy for the past 30 yrs. I just want something a bit more potent, and it's either a heavy 10mm, RI or Glock or a 357 K frame or Rhino. I still lift 3 times a week and do 4 hours of cardio, so I am in good physical shape, but I notice the difference the past 2 years.
Nothing wrong with a 9, just would like a bit more pop in my main carry, can still carry a small 9 in an ankle holster or pocket. My shot placement is as good as it can be after 47 yrs of carry, and getting the eyes done this month, so maybe time for a new toy with a little more power.

I have a .357 Rhino, although mine is a 6-inch and I don't carry it every day.

I did have a holster made for it and I do carry it though. The gun is no problem at all even with full-power .357, although the recoil obviously increases a bit.

If this tells you anything, my mom has trouble with her wrists (similar to carpal tunnel). She can shoot my Rhino well. The only problem she and others seem to have is putting the gun into single action. This is due to the design of the striker mechanism, but with a bit of practice it's fine. In any event, the gun is very smooth in double action.

I would say the biggest issue with the Rhino for carry is the lack of dedicated speedloaders to fit the cylinder. Perhaps someone else has experimented with that enough to find a good solution.
