Little gain to shooting .357's out of a real short barrel except for an increase in noise and flash.

I don't understand that logic.
If a 357 "becomes" a 38 special out of a really short barrel then what does a 38 special become... a 22?
A 357 still offers allot more umph out of a short barrel than a 38 special out of the same short barrel.
Example: Buffalo Bore 38 spl. 125gr. JHP does 1019fps from a 3" barrel.
Buffalo Bore 357 mag. 125gr. JHP does 1476fps from a 3" barrel.
They also offer a
reduced power 357 mag. 125gr. JHP that does 1109fps from a 2" barrel.
Their 38 spl 125gr. JHP from the same 2" barrel does 921fps.
Going to a 38+P helps but the 357 is still superior in any barrel length.
