I run 38spl through my S&W 686+ about 80% of the time. When I'm out practicing I always load one or two cylinders of .357mag, funny thing is I am more accurate with the .357mag. For target practice and in house defense the 38spl is plenty, I don't think I want to experience the blast from the .357 indoors! If I was outdoors for a walk in an area where I might encounter dangerous animals I would go with .357mag for sure.
