I was looking a little online and could not seem to find a definitive answer: What’s muzzle ENERGY going to be for a typical hollow point 9mm round (slug) coming out of a 16”* carbine? Vs., say, a .357 (handgun vs. rifle) or even a .410?
I have a .357 Magnum revolver w/ 4” barrel and it’s PLENTY powerful. But, accuracy (mostly “me”) is problematic — I’m not gonna kill a dog or coyote, 1st shot, with it, 99% of the time. Pretty loud, too... My wife is scared to death of it. A 357 rifle should be quieter, but even more powerful...

***Consider just adding a laser to your 4” .357 Mag revolver. You’ll get that first shot in.
Try .38 +P Hollow points,
Not the recoil of .357 and
Follow up shots are Better.
