i figure if someone could talk about getting a tube up his arse(sorry JP, hope the tests are neg.), then guns should be as safe a topic for discussion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
looking to purchase a 357 mag. i want something for home protection (i've pissed off a few people in my lifetime) as well something to plink around with, and i can carry it as a sidearm when hunting birds in the mountains (lions and bears, OH MY). i was thinking this was also a suitable caliber that it wouldn't knock my wife on her ass when she shoots it, but offers suitable stopping power against local wildlife (and lions and bears as well). plus i've heard some people can even hunt with this caliber, matched with the right load. any opinions ??????? I think i've narrowed it down to the ruger gp-100 and the S&W 686. thanks in advance......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) just read the carjack thread.... one more reason.

A 357 will shoot .38 rounds but not vice versa.
For home protection, the 357 is fine...."I" load it with "blue tips" aka Glaser rounds. Gel filled tips with BBs that will not go thru a wall and smack the poor little ghetto child down the road. The hit with the force of a ton of bricks but will splatter and disipate when they hit drywall. Makes an itty bitty entrance hole and don't pass thru the subject. ALL the shock will basically destroy the subject's internal organs that are adjacent to the entry.......not cheap rounds but then again, ya ain't gonna use them for target practice. IF THAT scares ya....the shotgun loaded with rock salt will make the subject wanna be dead....first two rounds...salt, then 00 buck, then deer slugs..... after THAT....throw it heem....
