Frequently asked questions

Which .357 Magnum hollow points does this page compare?
Speer Gold Dot 125gr JHP and Federal HST .357 Magnum are compared here. A typical 125gr JHP reaches approximately 1,400 fps from a service-length barrel.
How does .357 Magnum perform for self-defense?
.357 Magnum 125gr JHP loads are published at 1,400+ fps and carry substantially more energy than 9mm. The trade-offs are heavier recoil, muzzle blast, over-penetration risk and, in short-barreled revolvers, severe muzzle flash.
How do .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P compare for carry?
.38 Special +P is easier to control and produces less muzzle flash and blast from short barrels. .357 Magnum delivers more energy but produces sharp recoil in lightweight revolvers; the recoil difference is smaller in heavier revolvers with 4-inch and longer barrels.
