After talking to friends at work, they recomended the .357 for a home defense/personal defense gun. After purchasing it, I went to the range to try it out ( taurus 605 2in bbl). A lot of difference when shooting with .357 and 38spl loads. When you shoot it, it's like a small cannon. Now after reading more on these forums, I've learned more about the importance of ammo and shot placement etc, and I also bought a 9mm. I never considered hearing loss in the equation. I could make myself, and someone in my family deaf at the same time. These are the people I'm trying to protect! I think I will restrict my snub to 38+p and just use up my .357 stuff on the range. Thanks for all the input.
