The 357 has greater stoping power then a 9m and the 40 and 45
the problim is over penitration for law inforcement they have to think beyond a target like some ones home.
I like the 357 i have one in in ruger gp100 i have killed deer with it
i have never killed a bear with it i have carryed it when doing bait runs
wenchester has a nice load in there supream but i like to shoot my deer with a hand gun at bow rangs.
The farthest i have shot a deer with a hand gun is about 40 yards.
I tend to carry a hand gun as a secondary firearm and most deer i have killed are products of them comeing in close anuf for a good hand gun shot.
If i was going to leave my shot gun at home or the rifel i would use a scoped 44
