After watching several body cam instances where the bad guy was quite large and completey geeked up it put me to questioning, "just what is enough?"
Some of these guys were able to take several 9mm shots and keep advancing.
I've been handloading for 35+ years and I don't recall ever loading a .357 Mag round.
Oh, I've shot plenty over the years, just never cared to load them. I have thousands of .38 Special brass that I load and shoot in everything from J Frame Smith's to 6.5" 3 screw Ruger blackhawks.
Recent events got me to thinking, maybe it's time to drag out the H110 that's been reserved for .454 Casull, Ruger .45 Colt and .44 mag loads and put it to use in a smaller case.
I don't know what's enough power to stop a fully geeked thug, but the .357 seems a good choice for my neuropathy weakened grip. These day the favorite old big bores are a bit much for me to hold on to.
A 12ga 870 cylinder bore resides by me at night.
