When you carry do you have it loaded with .357? I usually go with .38+P because I think I can make quicker, more accurate, follow up shots with that caliber.
First shot is .357, #2,#3,#4 and #5 are .38+P. My thought is, let that first shot be an accurate attention getter and pants Shi#$%r. If I can connect on the first round, I hope to be able to move and shoot with the rest if needed.
