For the sake of discussion:

Some people justify certain carry arms, such as snub nosed J-frames, using the 3-3-3 'rule'. That is, that the average gunfight lasts 3 shots, in 3 seconds, at a distance of 3 feet.

Yet, few people carry around the hottest loads these snubbies can handle, full power 357 magnum. Why is that?

Since most arguments come down to scenarios (or attempting to encompass as many as possible), it seems to me that there may be a higher number of scenarios facing the average CC'er that favor hot loads vs downloaded ones if the 3-3-3 statistic holds true.

This is mostly just an intellectual exercise, but I think it's worth at least re-thinking the assumption. If for nothing else than to re-affirm it stronger than before.
