You know now that I think about it, IF I am going to have a defensive caliber handgun which one should I take. I have an S&W mod60 357 5 shot 3 inch Stainless barrel revolver. I also have a Ruger convertible 357 with a 9mm cylinder. The ruger MIGHT make more sense, as it can use two different calibers of ammo. What do you guys think? I think that I have determined I will have a Bulldog on my hip!
