Back in 1970 or so I recall the cry of: the .45 colt is doomed.
Well it is still kicking just as the .38 special and .357 Magnum. The good ole .41 mag still hangs on also. M-58 / M-57 having great records in both hunting and defense with PROPER loads.
I must admit I shoot .38 specials more than magnums in my .357
My first center fire handgun was a M-28 S&W 4 inch which I still have along with my K/L frames.
There is not much you can ask of the 38/357 that it can not do well. If you need more power grab a long gun.
