Very nice custom revolver. I have shot several magnum revolvers. I stand by what I say about personal defense handguns. It's not about quality. It's about capacity and ease of reloading. Auto's rule. Is a 357 revolver a more or less effective handgun than a Glock 29 for personal defense?
Added: I am very ordinary and an average shot.
The closet Wall Mart is a high crime area with many dope deals going on after dark. The parking lot is visited by the homeless during the day. This Wallyworld is supposed to be the most highly shoplifted store in the USA. As I recall many years ago police were trained that a person armed with a knife could move very fast across seven yards. So I'm supposed to start shooting wild at any range? If I can function at 25 yards how about three or five. Have you ever heard of a drive by? Most, Most, Most. It is highly unlikely that terrorist will fly airplanes into the World Trade center.
Added: I can carry at total of twenty-seven rounds how about you
The only thing that makes fewer hits more effective is if said hits were fired from a heavy loaded magnum. [emoji3]
I think 6 rounds of 357 from a carry-size gun and without hearing protection would never happen, overwhelming at about round three maybe.Honestly, if six rounds of .357 Magnum doesn't solve my problem, a handgun was never the solution.
Well put.Prevailing wound ballistic theory does not agree with this. Higher velocity or heavier bullet magnums are not considered to do meaningfully more damage than other bullets that expand and penetrate sufficiently. They either penetrate further and exit the body without further effect, or they cause slightly greater temporary stretch of surrounding tissue without further damage because of the elasticity of that tissue.

If this theory of wound ballistics is true, it has profound meaningfulness especially to those loading and carrying 357 and other "magnum" cartridges. If this is correct, Magnum users have an acute opportunity to do something that is possibly very counterproductive and at best completely useless.
It is important to understand that this theory does not negate all the value of 357 Magnum or make 38 Special "just as good." What it does suggest is that 357 Magnum, 125 grains loaded to 1100 fps is enough and that loading it to 1600 fps or 158 grains to 1400 fps is not any better. But, sorry, 125 grain 38 Special loaded to 890 fps still sucks.

Due to all that repetitive bone damage from years of magnum use, I can see you as an old codger sitting at a table holding a spoon to sip your afternoon bowl of soup and having your wrists suddenly crumble.
Just sayin...
