one of my favorite calibers is .357 magnum, and I am considering buying a revolver chambered in it. However, a big concern for me is the intense noise it creates when fired. At the range, i was standing next to one that was loaded with 125 grain Cor-Bon loads (1500fps) and my ears had a slight ring in them for about an hour after leaving the range. Keep in mind i was wearing 27 decibel reducing headphones. Now consider a defensive situation in which you are forced to fire a .357magnum load INDOORS (with tile floors in my case!!!) at night, possibly after being just woken up and running to the gun.
Now i know that your adrenaline will be pumping so high it will cancel out most of the noise, but wouldn't you be inclined to flinch just a little before firing? (indoors, tile floor, night time). It would be so deafening a second shot may not be possible, or if so, very inaccurate. just my speculation. what do u guys think?
