I'm not sure if I was clear in my meaning. I meant in a life and death situation it terms of auditory exclusion being a factor, not in a non-lethal scenario.
I have read that when your in a real life and death situation your body reacts differently. I understand the hearing is not as affected because of the adrenaline pumping and you become hypersensitive. I'm not knocking the 357 as a great SD round and it's one of my favorites. We all make our own choices based on our own situation. One thing I do like about a semi-auto as a nightstand gun is the ability to have a second magazine ready. It seems like most break-ins these days are 2 or more bad guys.
