I am pretty new to shooting in general, but a curious sort of fellow, so I think of strange things.
Most (all??) .357 mag revolvers will also fire a .38 special.
A .38 special has lower recoil, allowing for quicker, more accurate follow up shots.
A .357 mag has more power, allowing for more effective shots when you hit.
Lets say you have a 6 shot revolver for self-defense purposes.
Any possibility you would load alternating rounds, .38/.357, with the first round being a .38 followed by a .357?
This would allow for the superior stopping power of the .357 while maintaining some of the advantages of the .38's lower recoil for second shots.
And yes, I know that I am incredibly inexperienced and this is probably a terrible idea for very good reasons, but curious as to what those reasons are.
Thanks for entertaining my idea.
