Bob,
The 357's stopping power with 125 grain slugs is nothing short of spectacular. It comes in at the top of most studies.

However, there have been great strides made in the last few years as far as 38 carry ammo is concerned. While even the 38+p's are well below most 357 loads in terms of energy, the power of the 357 comes with a price. The magnums will generally be flashier, and slower to follow up with additional shots.

I feel well armed with either.

There are many postings on this very subject in the ammo sub-forum.

P.S. If weight is your main concern, you won't be saving much, if any, with a K frame.

Eric
