During the week, I ccw a Glock 33 in .357 sig with a name brand 125 grain hollow point. However, during the weekend, when I am out hiking or kayaking I usually grab my SP101 in .357 magnum with a name brand 158 grain swc.
My reasoning is that during the week, my primary threat is two legged and I am looking for a good balance between expansion and penetration. However, when I am in the great outdoors, there is a possibility of a four legged threat that would require increased penetration. Also, a revolver just seems to belong in the woods more than a Glock.
Is this reasoning correct? Is a 158 grain swc from a 3" revolver going to signifigantly out penetrate a 147 grain fmj from my baby Glock? My gut answer is "yes", but I have no data to confirm this suspicion. Any help?
Thanks
