The 357 with the 125 gr bullet has an excellent track record unequaled even today from all the accounts I've read. Something like a 97% stopping power factor(not hit in the knee cap of course). Tremendous damage to tissue. Penetration is nothing like the 45 ACP with ball ammo which has been know to penetrate excessively-like 2-3 ft in ballistic gelatin compared to 13-15 inches for the 357. The 158 gr soft points or SWC's and heavier will penetrate more than the 125 gr JHP.If you can stand the noise indoors you can't beat the 357 for defense purposes. Various LE agencies carried them for years and have reported huge successes in stopping the bad guys.
