Packaging is the main problem for revolvers in general. It's like a pistol that ate a jar of baby food...jar and all. If the owner has found a way to carry the piece (concealed or open) which suits his lifestyle, that's half of the battle or more. I don't think I can do that. A medium sized semi-auto is challenge enough for me.
Then there are the tactical limitations of the type. Lower capacity. Arguably slower reloads. These negatives may never surface in actual use...then again they might.
On the plus side, a .357 can be tailored to give a lot of power, penetration and good accuracy, particularly so with longer barrels.
Each of us has to examine our own lives and our world and decide what threats are worth preparing for and how to do so. Life is a chess game in that way. No, on second thought, chess doesn't begin to do justice to the complexity of our lives. A .357 has the potential to do things that most semi-autos cannot. The reverse is also true. It boils down to what threat you are preparing to stop.
