Easier on the wallet. ...And the ears.
I've never understood this argument, and still don't.I considered getting a .327, but decided against it bcause of the cost of ammo.
I agree with you Frank. Again, the price of JHP defense ammo .38 and .357 is at the least .80/round. For .327, it's about $1/round. For .38, one can get target/plinking ammo for around .25/round, but if we're looking for a cheaper, softer recoiling ammo, then in that case one can get .32 S&W Long for around .30/round.I've never understood this argument, and still don't.
Since buying my first .327 Federal revolver, the price of ammo has been roughly the same as .38 Special (let alone .357 Mag). ...And I've lived in two different states and shopped in dozens of shops in five different states since then.
I just don't get it.
I must be blind, isolated, lucky, or regionally blessed (even though I've also looked and priced the ammo in North Carolina).
That aside...
Since when was reloading a bad thing?
I focused a lot on the snub LCR because it's small enough it could be carried in the pocket, but my preference is a 3 inch because of better velocity and sight radius.
I find that revolvers just don't conceal as well as autoloaders, in equally sized handguns.
The cylinder is the problem.
It's like carrying a golf ball in your pocket.
So, I prefer a .380 pocket pistol.
