I don't know just why the .357 Magnum has such a cult following. It's believers give it powers way beyond what the laws of physics can deliver. It is a good revolver chambering, but it can do nothing magical.
I have always argued that there isn't anything that can be done with a handgun that can't be done better with a long gun except carry and concealment. Once it's time to get the gun into action, you're always better off with some kind of rifle or shotgun.
