What you gain by going .357 is a few hundred feet per second and a sore hand.
Every time I see this question come up, I'm reminded of my shooting buddy who, in an all-time exercise in poor judgment, went to the range and handed his lady friend his scandium .357 snubby (S&W Model 360? not sure) with full-house loads. On the first shot, the gun rotated back in her hand and the hammer spur punched a hole in the web of skin between her thumb and index finger that required a couple stitches to close. Sore hand indeed. They're no longer together - he swears the incident had nothing to do with that, but I'm not so sure.
