And of course, the gap in power gets much larger with things like the 500 S&W Mags.I enjoy revolvers a lot. I carry them when I need something with more than 500ft/lbs of energy. I have plenty of faith in 9mm and 45acp, but on property where tusks, fangs, claws might be waiting… a good 357 or better a 44 mag is very comforting.
