First of all, there's nothing wrong with either, but I'd like to nitpick a bit.
From what I understand, some folks shoot .44 Special a lot better than .357. A bigger bullet is always nice, and big & slow can be just as effective as small & fast. Also, recoil "speed", muzzle flash, and noise are all tied to pressure in one way or another.
What else is there about .44 Spl. that makes it a great load to carry?
I'll admit, I simply like the idea of carrying a big-bore revolver, but I'm having a hard time imagining that I'd feel better-equipped with five rounds of .44 over six rounds of .357, or even six rounds of .44 over seven rounds of .357 in the same-sized gun.
Will I just "get it" once I shoot them both?
