[QUOTE="pistolguy, post: 2224178, member: 30479"] for hunting? maybe. If you TIME your repeat hits with mags, you'll be upset at how much they slow you down. Most shots in combat miss the man entirely, due to blasts, flashes (in bad light) target movement, your already being hurt, ducking incoming fire, dodging blows, etc. 12 ga slugs and 00 buck blasts to the chest have failed to stop men, so the 357 can and does fail, too (fairly often, with 158 gr jhp's, cause they don't expand from 4" barrels, worth a hoot) A top hand gets repeat hits in .35 second with a k frame 357, on the chest at 5 yds, and in .18 second with a lw commander .45,or with most 9mm's. In a gunfight, Being twice as slow as you need be is not a good idea. [/QUOTE]
