I love the 357 Mag. but I have had this gun a while and haven't really experienced other hand guns to honestly say which has better impact.I have found my Magnum easy to handle and fire, seems to have the impact necessary.

its one of the best handguns outthere, its capable of one shot stop, unlike a 9mm or .40, and yet its still controllable even on follow-up's (unlike a .44 or larger magnum)

it is equivalent to a 10mm auto in stopping power, and anyohe having fired a 10 and a .40 back to back will know they are two totally different animals

Your best bet would be to find a handgun that you are completley comfortable with and practice until you become very familiar and very proficient with it. Don't get caught up in all the hype about what caliber has the best "knock down power". Shot placement and luck are going to determine what happens at the other end of any situation you may be faced with.

so true... i just like the reliability of a DA revolver... it never jams, if it misfires... just pull again.. and with regards to best knock down power... its only a matter of enough.. while a GAU-8 avenger propably has supperior knockdown power, its fairly impractical... :lol:

I'm thinking I'd just have my wife kick the intruders Azz while I comfortably sleep undisturbed.

If she doesn't come back by the time I wake - I'll call 9-1-1

I have a Kimber 45 pro tactical II one mag with prefragmented bullets for home use :) and another with hollow points.

Kimbers are great! If you miss and run out of bullets you can always beat the intruder with the heavy SOBs! :lol:


(nice firearm, just too heavy for my liking to carry full time. I got spoiled with "plastic" guns):D
