Thanks.

I believe that the risk of a center of mass shot from a .357 going through is minimal. Those bullets tend to do a very good job of mushrooming, consequently dumping all of their energy into the target.

You must remember, though, that you still own every bullet that leaves the barrel of your firearm, wherever it might roam.

I second the S&W J frame. Load it with .38 Special +P's and your good to go. If you don't mind the sting and recoil of the .357 round then by all means load em' up.

Take a look at the new Ruger LCR, I just got one and it is a very nice little wheel gun.

Welcome! Go with the hammerless S&W 340PD chambered in .357. I believe the M&P versionof the same gun comes equipped with Crimson Trace Laser Grips. I carry my 340PD as a backup. If you want to go a little bigger, look at S&W's offerings in their larger framed Scandium wheelguns. Light guns that pack a big punch. Even though they hurt when you shoot at the range, if you had to use under duress, adrenaline will take over anyway.

Thanks, all!

How difficult is a hammerless revolver to clean?

I've been carrying a S&W 638 in a Kramer horsehide pocket holster for years now. Haven't worn either out yet.

Default Let me throw my 2 cents worth in.

I think your primary revolver should be like a primary auto. BIG!!

I recommend a .41 Magnum in a 4inch barrel.

Second choice would be a .357 magnum in 4inch.

Remember, it is NOT the length of the barrel, but the size of the handle that gives you away in concealed carry.

Also Magnums are made for 4 inch or longer barrels. Longer barrel more speed. Shorter barrel more noise and less speed.

Ballistics by the inch
