No, its still the king in FBI testing protocol and law enforcement track records. That's the reason for the 357sig.
357 makes for a stellar trail gun, which doubles for a good 38 as well.
J-frame 60s were changed to 357 in '96, I believe. There are tons upon tons of those about from the last 18 years of manufacture. One of those loaded up with the current Speer LE 38 135GD short barrel loads make for an outstanding conceal carry handgun for self-defense against two-legged road apples.
Really!? Close to a million LEOs across the USA must be dying to trade in their hi-caps for revolvers.
Been in the business for close to three decades, and yes, quite a number, both new and old, carry a small revolver as their secondary concealed handgun.
