The .357 still has the best (non head/neck) single shot stop percentage of all calibers.

Only the 185 gr JHP in .40 S&W has a better record than the 125 gr JHP in .357 mag. Fackler and some other real world stats put it almost 1% better. A fine choice if you like a semi-auto. I'm too lazy to chase the brass. I always know where to find the fired revolver brass :-)

I recently passed up a chance to get a Glock 30. It had WAY too much cosmetic damage for the asking price. I was looking to replace my old Star PD 45. I miss that one, in spite of the feed issues.

I'm not a tremendous fan of the new "crew served" handguns. (.454 .480 .50)

The 10mm and 40s&w are ok I suppose, but over all I'm a wheelgun or 1911 guy.
