Better kill em with the first shot. 357 mag is too unmanageable for follow-up shots. I've had several people shoot speed and accuracy with me and my 9mm, against their higher power/recoil rounds. None can come close to putting rounds on target, accurately. [or even on target] When you look at the effectiveness of today's hi-performance ammo, I don't see the need for the "manly" rounds. It ain't how large the round is....it's where ya put it.
I don't wanna walk in front of any round.

I somehow missed this post. I agree. You can accurately fire 16 rounds of 9mm in less time that you can fire 6 rounds of 357 magnum from a revolver. Although I like a good 357 magnum revolver, I'd not carry one anymore. Too many disadvantages. Personally, if I were feeling like a 357 I'd simply put in one of my 357sig barrels into either my USPc or P2000. Much better recoil management in those pistols. But in truth, 9mm is just fine these days.
On another board they were talking about the Glock 19 being adopted by the Federal Air Marshals. That's fine I suppose. But the conversation flowed over to 9mm. One poster said he'd prefer 357sig. I guess he's never touched off a 357sig in an enclosed metal tube without hearing protection. Not something I'd want to do. And that is the other consideration against magnums, they are quite loud. Shooting them in a room is not pleasant. Not that any service round is fun indoors without hearing protection, but some are worse than others.
