I like them. I am carrying a Smith and Wesson PC 940 Special today

However, I now carry my 940 loaded with 38 SUPER ammunition and I carry my PC 940 Special loaded with 356TSW ammunition
Both of these cartridges exceed 38 Special balistics

The rest of the time I carry a 357 Magnum J-frame

This is me, I realize that MORE POWER is not for everybody.

There are folks that either are quite pleased with a 38 Special or not tolerant of the recoil that the More Powerful cartridges generate

You are the only person that can make this decision for you

You might want to find a local range, or a buddy, where you can try out different firearms before buying them,
