The only "horror" story I know of regarding a .357 was a Trooper shooting in which a Trooper hit the perp 5 out of 6 times with a .357 wheel gun and the perp still fired a single round out of a .22 (may have been .22mag) killing the Trooper. Seems like the .22 round went in the area around the arm/chest area missing the body armor and piercing the Trooper's heart/artery causing him to bleed out. If I remember correctly, the 5 hits from the .357 rounds "found home" in the torso of the BG. The Trooper was dead on the scene. The perp lived to tell his story.
Sorry I can't recall the particulars (who, where) of this case right off, but it was well documented and it is used in MANY of the LE training videos. For some reason I'm thinking it was a Trooper Coats involved. I can get more specific information if anyone is interested. While I recall the video of the shooting as if it had happened in my presence, I can never remember things like the Trooper "insert name here" shooting, or State vs. "insert name here" tags on stuff like this...
