The .357 as a defensive cartridge just doesn't make much sense when you consider cartridges available in semi-auto's. In fact, I can't think of ANY defensive situation where I would want a revolver over a semi-auto; this is the 21st century.
So why would I carry a .357? Because I want to!
When I go into the woods, that's when I indulge and carry some of my other handguns just because I like them, and I want to carry them. Not because they're "best" (oh God, I hate that word) tool for the job, but because I just have a cool revolver and I want to carry it in the woods.
