You know it would be the most perfect .357 ever!

...except for the trigger polishing business

Or go with the Desert Eagle...

As for the Glock, if they made one, I'd buy it

I've thought about the DE. The thing about all of them is concealment. Size has a lot to do with my liking. Round count also comes into play. More MORE

I like the idea of a Glock in 10mm, but more sized to a 19. And double stacked.
How bout a Glock 44Mag. Evil grin

Yeah, I've done a bit of snooping. I'm (we are) not the only one thinking.
The subjects been spoke of quite a bit over at GlockTalk.

Because 9mm is why. Underwood 115's @1600 say howdy pretty good.
lol
o edit.. and they don't even get "Glocked/guppied", of course.

Underwood 115's

The penetration/expansion video is pretty impressive

G20 is plenty close enough
16 rounds of goodness

The classic .357 stopper is what.. a 110-125 (I forget) going like 1400? anyway

Yeah, but, .357 is like a totally nostalgic, feel-good round

My 686 takes care of the 'feel good' side

Wife's SP101 here, but I'm eyeing a GP100 to add some bulk a little later down the road, then round it out with a .357 lever gun

Hey I hears ya. But when you get down to "it".. 9mm is the same power in that same grainage. lol. going on a thousand years now.
The funny thing is, with that said, many/most .357 users will stoke it with classic jacketed 158gr deer loads.. don't do that.

I carry 9mm all day long, fully convinced of the effectiveness of the round. Never have carried a .357 But for some reason, I've just always had a special place for that round

Rule #1 of any gun forum - mention a caliber, any caliber, and there will be a debate

 

[2A2Dend]

Debating turns out a long and usually obnoxious circle. I've done my research long before joining here. However, I do like the ballistics of the Underwood Ammo. I've added it to my holy grail list

Wrong....the 45acp is better

Wouldn't .357 mag be a bit snappy with those polymer frames? I like shooting .38 personally. But i'm not a fan of revolvers..Not yet.. I kind of want a Bond Arms derringer.
