.357 is more than foreplay.
No it is not 45 cal.
But it is flat shooting and lethal at long range.
I’ve toyed with buying new handgun. Have about talked myself into the 357 mag.

I was told last weekend that .357 Magnum was created as a result of the prohibition and gun running days. .45 ACP was not very effective against the auto mobiles of the day, which had bodies and doors of considerably more durable steel than today’s plastic and tinfoil cars. I have not verified that piece of trivia, but it makes sense and sounds good too. 👍

I have Lever Action Carbines in 30:30 ... .357 ... and .44
I do not have a Carbine in .9 or .380 and don’t really think I want or need one ... I have .22 or .223 that can fulfill that mission (I even have a .222)
