[@shwesq]

The .44 Magnum carbine is clearly the more powerful gun and the one I would choose if I were to have only one gun in the caliber. The advantage to the .357 Magnum carbine is that the cartridge is small enough to be paired with a revolver small enough to be practical carry gun. A .44 Magnum revolver that is both durable and controllable will be too big for most to use as a carry gun.

[@TheBrucepix]

Old comment, but I have to agree. Especially on a budget and during an (artificially created?) ammo shortage, I like having one caliber that can fit my concealed carry, survival gun and hunting rifle - the option of substituting .38 is even more useful in this situation. So, for me, it's .357 (snubby, revolver, repeating rifle). All I have and (hopefully) all I'll ever need. Also, Paul Harrell is awesome!

[@chipsterb4946]

There’s a reason I haven’t ever bought a holster for my Dan Wesson 744 with a full lug 8” barrel. It’s big fun to shoot and built like a tank. It also weighs almost as much as a tank 😜

[@twalk6164]

Another "advantage" to the .357 carbien is the ability to run .38 specials for small game. My Rossi home dfense lever trapper version is loaded with 10 .38 specials so I don't blow my ears off if I have to fire indoors. I think 10 .38s will do the job. This same gun can become my camping gun by filling it with "bear loads" .357 mag 180g from HSM. Very satisfied with this flexibility.

[@robertpatter5509]

You can use both for carry with the right shoulder holster. Particularly a vertical shoulder holster. Both come in 3" barrels too. You will need to use a jacket though. Maybe not the best for really hot weather. Unless you are wearing seersucker clothing.

[@usernamesrlamo]

Hardly anyone is carrying .357 revolvers for personal protection these days. 44 is definitely the way to go if you were to only have one lever caliber if using for hunting, SHTF scenarios or personal defense. If just using for fun plinking then .357 for it’s cheap ability in using .38 specials.

Don't ever let anyone tell you these videos are tedious. All the extreme level of detail is why I subscribe in the first place. The explanations on this channel are always clear, precise and accurate and they don't leave a ton of information out like nearly every other channel. There's a lot of fun shooting channels that are just about watching stuff blow up and seeing ridiculous guns, but almost none that cover information so in depth like this one.

[@Dang_Near_Fed_Up]

@@exothermal.sprocket You are absolutely right. I was blasting stumps as a child of 8 with dynamite from the local hardware store. Which I would walk in and buy without even having my dad with me. Now I can't even buy it. Firearms take a background check, even ammo in some places does. I still have a rifle bought from Sears through their mail order catalog, that was mailed to my family's door. Yet you hear about many times more murderers and the like. It is that the very idea of being responsible for your own actions has been removed from the general public over time. Just look at parents today and TV programming. Parent of the past would teach their children what they could and could not watch. And the children knew if they violated it, they would get a spanking at the very least. Modern parents are just the opposite. How many time have you heard a parent say "I don't think that should be on TV, because I don't want my child to see it"? If you don't want your family to see it turn it off, watch what your children see and act accordingly. Do not expect everyone else to filter what they can watch because you are too lazy to watch you own child. This is just a small example of how self absorbed and lazy people have gotten. How they expect everyone else to do their job for them. It's truly sickening.

With all the 5.45 guns coming out this year from palmetto and others I think it would be very relevant. Thanks for considering

@@Quadrenaro I've cast bullets and loaded for both .357 and 45 Colt with little difference except that it's marginally easier to cast good bullets for the 45 Colt and, of course, it takes more lead and powder to load. .357 has an real appeal for general utility, though.
