.38 Spl (135-grain GD) in my M60 -- I do live in California, after all. My other revolver (M686), in the safe -- it's loaded for bear, 180-grain JHP's.
"Champagne to my true friends and true pain to my sham friends."
"Never wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but only the pig enjoys it."
"As long you're still looking at the green side of the grass, it's a good day."
"So many people want to enjoy the life we enjoy here in the U.S. without doing their share to protect it. And then they want to live off the efforts of others. They want to bad mouth the same people who are protecting their right to do so."
I don't normally carry a .357. Its very rare that I do, but it has happened. In the winter time just for fun I've carried a 6" 686 in a shoulder holster under my coat.. just because I could. I'll occasionally ccw with a 4" k-frame or 686, also just for the heck of it. When I have carried them, I did so loaded up with .357s not .38s.
Call me a sissy. 38 +P Hydra Shoks in my 2 inch 357. Its my bedside gun, and if used, it will likely be in my house. I think it'll give me a faster recovery time for followup shots.
I load mine with 38+p. When I want to remember what it feels like to shoot 357's out of my snub, I save my money and just pound my hand with the butt like a hammer
I usually go with a hot regular .38 or .38+P, because I like having ammo that can go in either my .38 snub or .357 without a second thought.
I only specifically go with .357 when I'm out in the woods. Generally I try very hard to avoid non-woods situations and locales where I would feel that I desparately needed .357 over a hot .38 Special.
We can't carry in Illinois, but I'd stay with .38 ammo to be better able to hit what I'm aiming at. Maybe if I were scared of bears, I'd upgrade to bigger guns & ammo.
I carry whatever .357 mags. I have handy.
It's mostly 145 gr. Win. Silvertips.
But it might well be WWB 125 gr. HP's.
Or, it might be 110 gr. WWB JHP's.
But it is always .357 magnums, all day, every day.
That's why I bought a .357 Magnum.
