Where can you find a .38 chambered for the longer .357??????

It works the other way around: get a .357, and you can use the shorter and sometimes less-recoiling .38 special ammo in it.

Note that some *+P* and *+P+* .38 special loadings will be more powerful and thereby more abusive on both target and the gun and its shooter than some comparatively milder .357 loadings. That versatility is one reason for the popularity of the .357, or for the .38 special, for those who don't require the more extremely powerful loadings.

There have been enough instances of the .38 or the .357 not getting the job done immediately, even with a good, center-of-body hit, that I want something both more effective in terminating the target and easier to control.

Please cite an example of a .357 NOT getting the job done!
