I had the same thoughts a couple days ago too.. Needed a cheap backup gun to my glock 40. So i
went to sportsman's guide and did a 15min ballistics check, the only numbers to look at are the last two sets, fps/ ft lbs of energy
HP.357 Mag. 110 JHP 1,500 555
.38 Special 110 STHP 945 218
38 Special (+P) 129 HSHP 950 255
.357 Mag 158 HSHP 1,240 535
39391 .357 Mag Swat 68 1,790 483
12576 357 Mag. Defender 70 1,860 538
357 Mag. 125 BJHP 1,220 413
.38 Special+P 125 BJHP 975 264
Now thats just a quick run through some popular brands. Shot placement is king,
but you also have to have the tools that will do the job. So yesterday at the funshow I gota taurus model 605, 357mag,concealed hammer, 24oz, 5-shot,pocket gun for $264 out the door. Double the $130 mak price but also double the power. Not the best brand but sufficient imho.
