Howdy all. I am almost decided on purchasing a .357 mag. I intend to use it for target practice, possibly some hunting, and I want to be able to use it in defensive and offensive situations. It may become a bugout gun I put in behind my belt, if need be. Currently, all I have is a Baretta Cougar in .45 acp. It is a good auto, but something in me longs for the wheelgun. Question is, should i get a 4 or 6 inch barrell. And also, should I think about the extra capacity smith's and taurus's in 7 and 8 round. Any advice is much appreciated.
