I would never recommend anything but a revolver for anyone who does not shoot often and become very experienced.

I agree. Why do they always have to compare anything to a Glock. Glocksters, lol. (snicker) (snicker)

The beauty of a wheel gun is it doesn’t leave the spent cartridges laying about.

None of these articles discuss the effects of the rounds downrange after they pass through the perp. It’s wasted energy and in an urban environment endangers innocent people. Which is why the police don’t use .357.

3xactly!. I prefer the 10mm, but I’m also shooting it out of a revolver. I don’t knock .357 mag. It’s a great cartridge in its own right.

"I would never recommend anything but a revolver for anyone who does not shoot often and become very experienced."
And if you are inexperienced and don't shoot often then I would never recommend a caliber as big as either of these because you won't be able to hit the broad side of a barn unless its pure luck.
To: Mr. K
I would never recommend anything but a revolver for anyone who does not shoot often and become very experienced. Agree. I have my wife packing a 38spl revolver 2 1/2 barrel. Shes an excellent shot and loves to shoot my 9mm Beretta but doesnt shoot often enough to develop necessary muscle memory to handle all the various scenarios that could come up in a threat situation when using a semi. So, she packs the revolver, just pull the trigger and it goes bang. Btw, you obliquely addressed this but for those who live in Rio Linda the 357 round is designed for revolvers and the 10mm is designed for semis. So, step one in choosing between a 10mm and a 357 round is deciding if you want to pack a revolver or semi, then work through the decision process from there. Btw, one last input for those from Rio Linda; the 357 is actually 38 caliber and can interchangeably fire the 38 special round which is much cheaper for practice. Or, if the 357 round is found to be a bit too stout the 38spl round can be used when carrying. Thats it 😊...

Kind of felt the same a couple of decades ago.

I care about policing brass at the range, if a bear or lion is closing in, not so much.

Apples? Meet Oranges.
Semi auto or revolver?
Both supersonic. 158gr 357 vs 155gr 10 (.40 caliber). About the same velocity.
10mm 180 standard bullet. Heavier bullet. Perhaps more knockdown power
357 maybe 180 gr. Max though 158 grain is standard
357 probably better penetration because its smaller.
Truth be told I wouldnt want to get hit by either.
I would take either deer hunting though I find revolvers more reliable.
Many semi autos are lighter and easier to carry.

The entire modern ammo industry is trying to reproduce what the 357 magnum 125 grain hollow point was doing 50 years ago. There are many reasons cops moved away from wheel guns but the ammo wasn’t one of them.

"...The beauty of a wheel gun is it doesnt leave the spent cartridges laying about...."Since I do not lead a life of crime, that only benefits me if I am fighting an irregular war against my own government, and that looks to be delayed until after 2024.

I used to love shooting .38s out of my dad-in-law’s .357 revolver.
With the weak kick, It was a joy to shoot.
