I agree about the price of good/premium 9mm ammo compared to similar in .38/.357; the price is the same. It's practice ammo where the prices drop and the benefit to a 9mm revolver is one will practice more with it over .38/.357.
But for the distances that one will likely be using a 2 inch revolver, they don't need to practice with it much at all and if one had to use said revolver for defense... there's a lot more than can go wrong with 9mm than .38 or .357.
