If you don't want to spray and pray, don't get a 9mm. Use your money to buy ammo for your .357 or better yet buy a reloading kit and start rolling your own. Then practice, practice, practice. Learn to reload your GP with speedloaders and speed strips and even loose rounds with your eyes closed. If you just have to buy a new gun then at least get something in a more effective caliber. I'm not knocking the 9mm. It is an easy to shoot cartridge that you can fit lots of in a full capacity magazine. I just think it is a step down in effectiveness and all around usefullness from a full power .357 mag. I've done exactly what you are doing (asking TFLers to make a buying decision for me). Until one fellow said "If you need somebody else to talk you into buying something, you probably don't need it!" Advice is great and the information that has been given is valuable. But the final decision is up to you. My advice? Trust your instincts and put your faith in your .357!
