Question: Why? Seriously.
Just the same thing that comes to mind (for me) when speaking of a .357.
The K frame is a great target/plinking or even defense gun.
You yourself shoot 38s out of your 19. Why?
Of course everyone knows why. The 357 is a stinker because its loud, obnoxious and if its needed in the K frame configuration it's better to just go to a fatter bullet or a heftier gun.
The 357 as a game round, for all its rancor, is marginally better than a +P 38.
