Unfortunately, where I live, this caliber is not allowed for civilians.
It must be very comforting to carry such a powerful and effective cartridge. However, I've often wondered what people think about the possible consequences, in a defensive situation, of rounds going astray.
I know hollow points are designed to mushroom, but I've heard that magnum rounds are quite capable of penetrating thick doors and some walls, and injuring the innocent. I always imagine a missing round sailing on down the street, and stopping God knows where.
I'm not a crack shot, and, although I'd love to be able to have a 357, I'm not sure I'd trust myself to carry it in an urban environment.
As I say, I'm only speaking of myself here, but I wondered what others thought.
