I have read many post about .38+P vs. .357 Mag. as defensive options in airweight revolver's, and it seems most folks prefer to load with the .38+P, because you can (without a doubt) get off 2 or 3 follow up shots faster, however, "what if" there were 2 or three BG's?, if it potentially may take 2 or 3 shots to put down ea. BG you would be in big trouble. I realize the Airweight (got one 360 w/3 1/8" brl.) with a .357 mag. load gives a nasty kick, and it ain't no range gun, but, even though your follow up shots are slower, 1 well placed shot should stop a BG in his tracks versus 2 or 3 well placed shots from a .38+P load. I just feel more comfortable with the bigger load. I always shoot 50-100 rounds of .38 for target and then the last 5 shots are .357 mag. 125gr., I shoot about 1-2" further away from center than with the .38.
